There are numerous examples of taxes.

1. Sales tax. If you buy products in a store, you are charged an extra percentage of what you purchased. If you buy a 99 cent item and get charged $1.06, that extra 7 cents is called sales tax.

2. Income tax. That is part of what your boss takes out of your paycheck. They also take out FICA (Social Security), sometimes insurance, and other things.

3. Luxury taxes. These are extra taxes you pay on certain luxury items.

4. "Sin taxes." These are extra taxes on items that are deemed unhealthy or bad for society. For instance, this is partly why cigarettes are so high.

5. Property taxes. These are taxes you pay each year to the county and/or state just for owning a house, vehicles, and/or land.
