The latter applies to banking and financial business. Transaction taxes cover Central Sales Tax, Local Sales Tax (imposed by individual states), Customs Duty, Excise Duty, Stamp Duty, Gift Tax, Expenditure Tax, and Value Added Tax. Property and Wealth Tax also appear in India.
Income tax in India is progressive. Here is how much you pay determined by how much you earn:
0% on income between 1 and 200,000
10% on income between 200,001 and 500,000
20% on income between 500,001 and 1,000,00
30% on income of 1,000,01 and above
Corporate Tax
Limited companies in India are liable for tax at the rate of 30% for local companies and 40% for foreign companies.
