Sales tax is what consumers normally pay for, or are charged for a good/ service; and excise tax is the "hidden" tax that the producers or sellers pay for. Sales tax is listed separately.

Sometimes producers and sellers include the value of the excise tax within the goods or service as an " indirect tax".

So that means, theoretically, sometimes consumers are being taxed twice for the price.

You can find more info about sales tax and excise tax at the B.L.S. or the Federal Bureau of Labor and Stats...
