Best Answer

A tax is a fee levied by a government (usually) on top of some sort of economic activity (e.g. sales tax, earned income).

A royalty is a charge levied by the owner of some good for the use of that good. (e.g. a radio station pays an artist or record label for the use of a song, or a mining company pays a landowner for the right to mine gold).
