I've reorganized this article. A single definition really covers all the different kinds of tax in English, although that's evidently not the case in other languages. There are many different kinds of tax besides the two that were previously listed. I've added some more; there may be others I haven't thought of. I'm not so sure about the way the translation section is arranged: would it be better to have separate entries for income tax, sales tax, etc. and move the translations into those entries? --Ortonmc 21:09, 4 Dec 2003 (UTC)
At the moment this doesn't cover forms like "Apple tax" (price difference to buy an Apple product, or the cut Apple takes in App Store transactions), or "idiot tax" (lottery tickets etc.). –Jberkel10:36, 20 June 2020 (UTC)

The following information has failedWiktionary's verification process (permalink).
Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time. We have archived here the disputed information, the verification discussion, and any documentation gathered so far, pending further evidence.
Do not re-add this information to the article without also submitting proof that it meetsWiktionary's criteria for inclusion.
