excise tax
Goods production levy
An excise tax is a tax levied on specific goods or activities rather than on income or general sales.
Governments impose excise taxes on items like alcohol, tobacco, gasoline, and gambling—often to discourage consumption or fund related programs.
Unlike sales tax, excise taxes are typically included in the listed price rather than added at checkout.
