It provides for levy, administration, collection and recovery of Income Tax. Taxes in India are levied by the Central Government and the state governments. However, some minor taxes are also levied by the local authorities such as the Municipalities. The Central Board of Revenue or Department of Revenue is the apex body charged with the administration of taxes in India.
