Types of Taxes in The United States - Sin Tax


A Sin Tax is a state-sponsored tax that is added to products or services that are seen as vices, such as alcohol, tobacco and gambling. These types of taxes are levied by governments to discourage individuals from partaking in such activities without making the use of the products illegal. These taxes also provide a source of government revenue.
Revenue generated by sin taxes supports many projects imperative in accomplishing social and economic goals.
