annual tax

Once-per-year payment

An annual tax is a tax levied once per year, typically based on the previous year's income, property value, or other assessable basis.

Most income taxes and property taxes operate on an annual cycle: Annual property taxes are due in December.

The term distinguishes from taxes assessed more frequently, like quarterly estimated payments or per-transaction sales taxes.
