Excise: History & Products

An excise, or excise tax, is any duty on a category of goods that is normally levied by a government at the moment of manufacture for domestic consumption. This makes excise different from a sales tax or value-added tax (which are levied at a point of sale) or from customs duties (which are levied on goods when they cross a designated border).
