The British Raj (from rāj, literally, "rule" in Hindustani) was the rule by the British Crown in the Indian subcontinent between 1858 and 1947.

The rule is also called Crown rule in India, or direct rule in India.

The region under British control was commonly called India in contemporaneous usage, and included areas directly administered by the United Kingdom, which were collectively called British India, and those ruled by indigenous rulers, but under British tutelage or paramountcy, and called the princely states.

The resulting political union was also called the Indian Empire and after 1876 issued passports under that name.

Accounting or accountancy is the measurement, processing and communication of financial information about economic entities such as businesses and corporations.

The modern field was established by the Italian mathematician Luca Pacioli in 1494.

Accounting, which has been called the "language of business", measures the results of an organization's economic activities and conveys this information to a variety of users, including investors, creditors, management, and regulators.

Practitioners of accounting are known as accountants.

The terms "accounting" and "financial reporting" are often used as synonyms.

A tax (from the Latin ) is a financial charge or other levy imposed upon a taxpayer (an individual or legal entity) by a state or the functional equivalent of a state to fund various public expenditures.

A failure to pay, or evasion of or resistance to taxation, is usually punishable by law.

Taxes consist of direct or indirect taxes and may be paid in money or as its labour equivalent.

Most countries have a tax system in place to pay for public/common/agreed national needs and government functions: some levy a flat percentage rate of taxation on personal annual income, some on a scale based on annual income amounts, and some countries impose almost no taxation at all, or a very low tax rate for a certain area of taxation.

Some countries also charge a tax on corporate income, dividends, or distributions—this is often referred to as double taxation as the individual shareholder(s) receiving this payment from the company will also be levied some tax on that personal income.
