Income Tax Rates for Domestic and Foreign Companies
Indian taxes are separated into two types: direct taxes and indirect taxes. Direct taxes are levied on the income earned by various sorts of business entities over the course of a financial year. There are various sorts of taxpayers registered with the Income Tax Department, and each pays taxes at a different rate. For example, an individual and a firm both pay taxes, but not at the same rate.
