Short Answer
Advertisements

Solution

The impact of a tax refers to the burden it imposes on the person who pays it to the government in the first place. The incidence of a tax refers to the financial burden imposed by a tax on the person who is ultimately responsible for paying it. As a result, a direct tax is one whose burden is absorbed by the same individual on whom it is imposed.
