Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

Indirect taxes are levied on goods and services and their burden can be shifted to the final consumer. Authoritative textbook excerpts list customs duty and state excise (excise duty) among typical indirect taxes, while corporate (corporation) tax and wealth tax are grouped with direct taxes levied on income or ownership [1]. The same source explicitly states excise duty is an indirect tax levied on manufacturing and passed on to consumers [2], and a concise definition of indirect taxes names customs duty as an example [3]. Therefore, items II (Customs duty) and IV (Excise duty) are indirect taxes.
