Explanation
A direct tax falls on the income or wealth of the person who pays it, which covers income tax, corporation tax and wealth tax.
An indirect tax is levied on goods and services, so excise, customs and GST belong there.
Wealth tax, gift tax and estate duty raised so little they were nicknamed paper taxes.
