| III. It is collected by the State Governments |
| IV. It is a proportional tax |
A) Only I is correct
B) I and II are correct
C) I, II and III are correct
D) II, III and IV are correct
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
[b] Income taxes are widely viewed as a Progressive tax, meaning the incidence of tax increases as income increases.

In that respect, India's period of supposedly extortionate tax rates produced a most undesirable result because the Centre's next direct tax revenue was barely a fifth of its net indirect tax revenue.
