There is no government college in record as such that is providing Indirect Tax course. However, you can consider enrolling in private colleges that can provide equivalent course quality to the interested candidates.

Yes, import duty is an Indirect Tax because, this tax is applied on goods imported into a country. The importer pays the duty, but this cost is typically factored into the final price of the product, making the consumer indirectly bear the tax burden.
