A value added tax (VAT) is a form of consumption tax. A VAT is like a sales tax in that ultimately only the end consumer is taxed. It differs from the sales tax in that, with the latter, the tax is collected and remitted to the government only once, at the point of purchase by the end consumer. VAT comes under the single tax system based primarily or exclusively on one tax, typically chosen for its special properties. Most of the Indian States have replaced Sales tax with Value Added Tax (VAT) from 1 April, 2005. VAT is imposed on goods only and not services and it has replaced sales tax.

Government debt (also known as public debt, national debt) is the debt owed by a central government. Government debt is one method of financing government operations, but it is not the only method. Governments can also create money to monetize their debts, thereby removing the need to pay interest. But this practice simply reduces government interest costs rather than truly canceling government debt. Governments usually borrow by issuing securities, government bonds and bills. Less creditworthy countries sometimes borrow directly from a supranational organization (e.g. the World Bank) or international financial institutions. Life insurance is a contract that pledges payment of an amount to the person assured (or his nominee) on the happening of the event insured against.

Nicholas Kaldor’s seminal work, titled ‘An Expenditure Tax,’ was brought out in 1955. Kaldor asked to levy a tax on a person’s expenditure (consumption), instead of on his income. When expenditure is made the basis of taxation, the problems created by the non-comparability of various types of accruals of wealth resolve themselves. This was his major argument in favour of an expenditure tax.
