Taxes in India are levied by the Central Government and the State Governments by virtue of powers conferred to them from the Constitution of India. Some minor taxes are also levied by the local authorities such as the Municipality.

Therefore, each tax levied or collected has to be backed by an accompanying law, passed either by the Parliament or the State Legislature.
