Tax, Taxes
TAX, TAXES - This term in its most extended sense includes all contributions imposed by the government upon individuals for the service of the state, by whatever name they are called or known, whether by the name of tribute, tithe, talliage, impost, duty, gabel, custom, subsidy, aid, supply, excise, or other name.
The 8th section of Art. I, Const. U. S. provides, that "Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts, and excises, to pay," etc. "But all duties, imposts and excises shall be uniform throughout the United States."
In the sense above mentioned, taxes are usually divided into two great classes, those which are direct, and those which are indirect. Under the former denomination are included taxes on land or real property, and under the latter taxes on articles of consumption.
Congress have plenary power over every species of taxable property, except exports. But there are two rules prescribed for their government, the rule of uniformity and the rule of apportionment. Three kinds of taxes, namely, duties, imposts and excises are to be laid by the first rule; and capitation and other direct taxes, by the second rule. Should there be any other species of taxes, not direct, and not included within the words duties, imposts or customs, they might be laid by the rule of uniformity or not, as congress should think proper and reasonable.
The word taxes is, in a more confined sense, sometimes applied in contradistinction to duties, imposts and excises.

Tax, taxation
A compulsory transfer of money (or occasionally of goods or services) from private individuals, institutions or groups to the state. The amount and timing of the levy exacted from the individual taxpayer may be determined on the basis of any of a very large number of factors, but historically the most common sorts of tax have been levied based on the wealth or the income or some other characteristic of the particular taxpayer at a given time ("direct taxes" like income tax, social security tax, real property tax, estate tax, poll tax, business or professional license fees) or as some form of compulsory surcharge on one or more types of private trade or other voluntary transactions ("indirect taxes" like general sales taxes, specialized excise taxes, import tariffs, marriage licenses, and so on). In addition to the obvious function of raising revenue to finance government purchases of goods and services or income transfer programs, taxation may also be used deliberately as a policy instrument by which government seeks to influence the behavior of various segments of the citizenry by raising the costs of choosing to engage in the kinds of behavior on which taxes are imposed -- the classic examples being "sin" taxes to discourage consumption of tobacco and alcohol or protective import tariffs imposed to discourage the purchase of foreign-made products. (Of course, all forms of taxation will have an impact on the incentives facing the citizenry and thus will affect their behavior -- but frequently these non-revenue effects will not have been analyzed in advance and therefore do not represent deliberate policy. Legislators are rather regularly astonished by the unexpected -- and often negative -- secondary effects of their enactments, such as cigarette tax increases in New York producing diminished revenues due to increases in smuggling of cheap untaxed cigarettes, or newly imposed luxury taxes on yachts meant to soak the rich creating mass blue-collar unemployment in the boat-building industry due to greatly diminished sales.)

Tax
A tax is a financial charge or other levy imposed on an individual or a legal entity by a state or a functional equivalent of a state (for example, secessionist movements or revolutionary movements). Taxes could also be imposed by a subnational entity. Taxes consist of direct tax or indirect tax, and may be paid in money or as unpaid labour. A tax may be defined as a "pecuniary burden laid upon individuals or property to support the government […] a payment exacted by legislative authority." A tax "is not a voluntary payment or donation, but an enforced contribution, exacted pursuant to legislative authority" and is "any contribution imposed by government […] whether under the name of toll, tribute, tallage, gabel, impost, duty, custom, excise, subsidy, aid, supply, or other name."
