Direct Tax
is one collected directly from the owner of property
subject to the tax, as when the tax-gatherer goes direct to the owner
of a house and demands five, ten, or twenty pounds, as it may be, for
Government uses. Indirect taxes are taxes upon marketable
commodities, such as tea and sugar, the tax on which is added to the
article taxed, and is paid by the purchasers indirectly.
