There is really nothing to choose between direct taxes and indirect taxes as such, Both of them have their relative merits and demerits.Both direct taxes and indirect taxes are not substitutes for each other.They are complementary to each other.Objectives of taxation are common, thus a mix of both should be used.
These Objectives are:
(i) To raise resources for the government.
(ii)To raise the rate of investment in the country through the curtailment of consumption.
(iii) To raise the increment saving ratio.
Similarly they differ from each other us:
(i) Indirect taxes reach all the sectionsocietye soceity and direct taxes cannot reach all the sections of the soceity.
(ii)Direct taxes can be highly progressive; indirect taxes are generally proportional.
(iii)Indirect taxes can be easily used to influence the consumption of specific commodities;direct taxes cannot be thus,used.
In short,It is necessary to strike a balance between direec taxes and indirect taxes as a source of tax revenue.

(c) Primary Deficit = Fiscal Deficit - Interest Payment
= 32 - 20 = ~ 12 arab

16.
( )
Yes, the Fiscal Deficit is a wider concept than Revenue Deficit, because
Fiscal deficit = Total Expenditure - Total Receipts - other than borrowings and other Liabilities
and
Revenue deficit Revenue Expenditure + Capital Expenditure - Revenue Receipts + Capital Receipts, other than borrowings and other liabilities

Government can, through the budget, influence allocation of resources via the market mechanism, with the help of taxes, subsidies and by direct participation in production. Production units which produce harmful products like liquor, cigarettes, pan masala etc. can be heavily taxed. Tax concessions and subsidies should be given to encourage those production units which produce products that are useful for the masses.
Government can also directly produce goods and services which are normally ignored by the private sector, on account of lack of enough profit from their production.
19.
The government budget can be used to bring in economic stability. Economic stability refers to the minimization of fluctuations in prices (i.e., control of inflationary and deflationary trends) in the economy. Appropriate taxation, subsidies and public expenditure policies may be used for this purpose. When there is inflation, government can reduce its own expenditure and may impose new taxes and raise the rate of existing taxes, thus reducing aggregate demand and inflationary pressure thereby. When there is deflation, the government can increase its own expenditure. It can also reduce taxes and give subsidies to encourage spending by the people, thus increasing aggregate demand and reducing deflationary pressure thereby.
