As stated earlier, you pay these taxes directly. The government levies such taxes directly on an individual or an entity and it cannot get transferred to any other person or entity. There is only one such federation that winks at the direct taxes, i.e. the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) governed by the Department of Revenue. The CBDT has, to assist it with its sense of duties; the backup of several acts that preside over several aspects of the direct taxes.
