Question

Which of the following are miscellaneous taxes?

Answer 1

Answer:

A) Hunting license fees

B) License plate fees

D) Marriage license fees

Explanation:

A miscellaneous tax is any tax levied other than incomes taxes or transfer taxes (e.g. excise taxes including sales and gasoline taxes, real estate transfer taxes, estate taxes, gift taxes). Transfer taxes are paid when the ownership of a property (including goods and services) is transferred from one person to another.

Sales taxes and gasoline taxes are both excise taxes, therefore they fall under the category of transfer taxes.

Inheritance taxes are called estate taxes, which also fall under the category of transfer taxes.
