Q.State any four indirect taxes that existed before GST and were subsumed into it.

Before GST, indirect taxes were split across several separate Central and State levies, most of which GST replaced with one unified tax.

Any four genuinely subsumed taxes from this chapter's list would be accepted; four representative ones are given below.

GST subsumed a large number of separate Central and State indirect taxes into one unified tax on the supply of goods and services, of which any four fully answer this question:

1. Central Excise Duty — levied on the manufacture of goods.
2. Service Tax — levied on the provision of taxable services.
3. Value Added Tax (VAT)/Sales Tax — levied by States on the sale of goods within the State.
4. Central Sales Tax — levied on the inter-state sale of goods.
5. Entry Tax/Octroi — levied on goods entering a State or a local area.
6. Luxury Tax and Entertainment Tax (other than that levied by local bodies).
