What is excise duty?

Corporate tax has more contribution then excise duties where income tax has less. So what would be correct answer?

This is a wrong answer. The share of direct taxes is way more as compared to indirect taxes. Corporate tax accounts of approx. 36% of the total tax revenues whereas excise amounts to just 17%.

It is right answer because question asks annual yield from tax.

It is Union Excise Duty.

Answer is wrong. Highest share is in this way.

Corporate tax > income tax > service and other tax > custom > excise.

So corporate and income tax combined is much higher than excise duties.

Current scenario is Corporate tax > income tax > excise tax > custom = service tax and numerically 20 > 14 > 10 > 9 = 9 respectively. They are bound to change as time passes.

Corporate tax is the right answer. For detail clarification go to the current status of Indian tax.

Excise duty is a duty levied on goods manufactured or produced in India which is mentioned in central excise tariff act 1985. Excise act is governed by central excise act 1944.

Duty is generally levied on movable and marketable goods manufactured in India.
