FAQs on Incidence of Tax (Scope of Total Income) - Taxation - Income Tax for assessment (Inter Level)

1. What is the incidence of tax?
Ans. The incidence of tax refers to the burden of a tax, i.e., who ultimately bears the economic cost of the tax. It can be understood as the impact of the tax on different individuals or entities, such as consumers, producers, or both.
2. What is the scope of total income for taxation purposes?
Ans. The scope of total income for taxation purposes refers to the range of income sources that are considered taxable. It includes all income earned or received by an individual or entity from various sources such as employment, business, investments, capital gains, and any other taxable activities.
3. How is the incidence of tax determined?
Ans. The incidence of tax is determined by analyzing the elasticity of supply and demand for the taxed goods or services. If the demand is more elastic than supply, consumers bear a larger share of the tax burden. Conversely, if the supply is more elastic than demand, producers bear a larger share of the tax burden.
4. What are the different factors that affect the incidence of tax?
Ans. Several factors can influence the incidence of tax, including the price elasticity of demand and supply, the relative bargaining power of buyers and sellers, the ability to shift the tax burden, and the market structure. These factors can vary across different industries and markets, leading to different outcomes in terms of tax incidence.
5. How does tax incidence impact consumers and producers?
Ans. The impact of tax incidence on consumers and producers depends on the elasticity of demand and supply. If consumers bear a larger share of the tax burden, it can lead to higher prices for goods or services, reducing their purchasing power. On the other hand, if producers bear a larger share, it can affect their profitability and potentially lead to reduced production or investment. Ultimately, the burden of tax incidence can have a significant impact on both consumers and producers.
