Tax is of two types Direct Tax and Indirect Tax. Di
rect Tax is the tax, which is paid directly by people to the government, while in direct tax is the tax, which is paid indirectly by people to the government. Inc ome Tax is paid directly to the government therefore it is a direct tax while e
xcise duty is paid by people to the manufacturer who pays it to the government,therefore it is an indirect
tax.
Excise Duty is an indirect tax levied and collected on the goods manufactured in India.
Generally, manufacturer of goods is responsible to pay duty to the Government. This indirect taxation is administered through an enactment of the Central Government viz., The Central Excise Act, 1944 and connected Rules - which provide for levy, collection and connected procedures. The rates at which the excise duty is to be collected are stipulated in the Central Excise Tariff Act, 1985.
The Central Excise Department spread over the entire country administers and collects the central excise duty. The apex body that is responsible for the policy and formulation of connected rules is the Central Board of Excise and Customs which functions under the control of the Union Finance Ministry. There are about 60,000 staff and officers including 1500 officers in Group A level and 5,000 officers in Group B level in the Department. The Central Excise officers are also entrusted with the administration and collection of Service tax, Additional Excise Duty in lieu of sales tax on goods of special importance and Additional Excise Duty on textiles and articles of textiles, etc. and the Customs duty. The Central Excise officers are also armed with NDPS Act in the suppression of illicit trafficking in narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances. They are also entrusted with the task of enforcing various allied enactments like the Foreign Trade Regulation Act, the Foreign Exchange Regulation (now Management) Act, the COFEPOSA Act.
