India’s tax system comprises direct taxes (income tax, corporate tax) and indirect taxes (GST, customs, excise). GST subsumed numerous state and central levies, simplifying compliance and unifying markets. Ongoing reforms include rationalizing tax slabs, broadening the base, and improving digital compliance (e-filing, e-way bills). From an exam standpoint, note the difference between progressive and regressive taxation, how TDS works, and the rationale behind occasional surcharges or cesses. Contemporary debates revolve around reducing corporate tax rates to spur investment while ensuring enough revenue to fund welfare programs.
