Excise duty and sales tax are two different taxes. Taxes are financial levies imposed by a government upon its citizens that are compulsory and not voluntary. Through these taxes a government is able to function, makes its budget and performs its duties for the welfare of the population. There are many types of taxes such as wealth tax, income tax, sale tax, excise tax, custom duty, and toll tax and so on.
