thread_title:  Is a tire fee an excise? 

message: The rate of taxation is given 1.3 dollars for a pack of cigarettes. What is the cost of a pack of cigarettes? Prices of a list of common items may be given for each country along with rate of taxes for those. This would give us a perspective about the tax: price ratio.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bkpsusmitaa (talk • contribs) 07:30, 12 December 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  What is the cost of a pack of cigarettes in Canada 

message: The article mentions that excise taxes are the only taxes mentioned in the Constitution, which is not true.  Article 1, Section 2, Clause 3 of the US Constitution mentions direct taxes.  And the 16th Amendment identifies income taxes.  Likewise, this article defines "capitation" as an indirect tax.  This is also erroneous, as capitation is actually a direct tax.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by ZTFulkerson (talk • contribs) 19:12, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, thanks. The statement that an excise is the only kind of tax mentioned in the Constitution was indeed clearly erroneous. I watch this article, and somehow it got in there without my noticing. On the other thing, the intent was not to say that a capitation is a "indirect" tax -- the word "indirect" was supposed to be referring to "excise," but I can see how the language was ambiguous. I therefore changed it a bit -- hopefully that clears it up. Thanks! Famspear (talk) 01:28, 30 June 2012 (UTC)

Money Laundering? The UK has a specific tax code for illegally obtained funds? Or is there a definition for legal 'money laundering' not found in the following page? Money laundering

thread_title:  Confusing ambiguity 

message: What's the deal with the section claiming that "illegal drugs" are taxed in some US states? Narcotics used in prescriptions are not illegal. I assume that's what it's referring to. If not, and it really does mean illegal drugs, that's essentially an impossible tax to collect. 134.39.119.202 (talk) 19:26, 2 December 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Such a tax could be meant as a means to prosecute people for tax evasion when there is not enough evidence to prosecute them for illegal drug use; Al Capone was jailed for tax evasion, not anything else he might have done. 331dot (talk) 19:28, 2 December 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Dear IP 134.39.119.202: You probably shouldn't be assuming that what you are assuming. Also, whether you believe that a tax is impossible to collect or not is irrelevant to the question of whether the law imposes a tax on that drug. Many laws are difficult or impossible to enforce, including some tax laws. Famspear (talk) 19:31, 2 December 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Example: The U.S. federal income tax (which is technically an "excise" in the sense of "indirect tax") is imposed on illegal income as well as legal income. Illegal income includes income from the illegal sale of certain drugs. The fact that sellers of illegal drugs in the United States rarely report those sales (and are rarely caught for tax evasion, etc.) is irrelevant to the question of whether the tax is imposed by law on the gains from those sales.

message: This article still needs work, particularly in the introduction, on the definition of "excise" and "excise tax". These terms, like many legal terms, have more than one legal meaning. The throws terms around like "excise" and "duty" without really getting to the heart of the problem. In the United States, for example, the U.S. Federal gift tax is a type of "excise," but the definition given in the article, as presently written, does not really apply to the U.S. Federal gift tax. Same problem for the U.S. Federal estate tax and the U.S. Federal income tax, all of which are technically "excises". Stay tuned. Famspear (talk) 12:57, 3 July 2017 (UTC)
