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).

Contemporary debates revolve around reducing corporate tax rates to spur investment while ensuring enough revenue to fund welfare programs.
