The difference between a direct and indirect tax is complicated because it truly depends on whether you are asking from a “legal” or an “economic” perspective.

From Legal Perspective:
A direct tax, according to the U.S. Constitution, applies only to property and poll taxes. These direct taxes are based on simple ownership or existence.
Indirect taxes are imposed upon a broad range of abstract ideas, including rights, privileges, and activities.

From Economic Perspective:
A direct tax will refer to any levy that is both imposed and collected on a specific group of people or organizations. An example of direct taxation would be income taxes that are collected from the people who actually earn their income.
Indirect taxes are collected from someone or some organization other than the person or entity that would normally be responsible for the taxes.
