Have you ever wondered where some of the money for schools and roads comes from? It's partly from taxes! But not all taxes are the same. Some, called indirect taxes, are sneaky; you pay them without even really noticing.
- Indirect taxes are added to the price of things you buy, like soda or clothes.
- The store collects the tax and gives it to the government.
- Lots of things have indirect taxes, like gas, phone bills, and even alcohol!
| Tax Type | Example |
|---|---|
| Sales Tax | Added to almost everything you buy at a store. |
| Fuel Tax | Part of the price you pay for gas. |
| Alcohol Tax | Makes alcoholic drinks more expensive. |
Understanding indirect taxes helps you understand where your money goes!
