There are two reasons for this.

1. To discourage the sales of certain products

For example, the government impose a really high tax for cigarettes and gasoline. Both of these products tend to create damages to the environment and the health of the people who use them. Because of this, the government impose a high taxes in order to make the price become more expensive

2, To increase government budget.

The taxes that citizens pay to the government would be allocated to the budget that the government can use to fund their programs (such as infrastructure building, grants, health benefits, military , etc).

Which factor caused higher oil prices to directly lead to inflation?

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

Companies passed on production and transportation costs to consumers

Explanation:

An increase in oil prices will add to a higher inflation level. This is on the grounds that transport costs will rise prompting more increased prices for many products. This will be cost-push inflation which is very unique to inflation brought about by rising aggregate excess/demand growth. 

Consumers will see a decline in unrestricted income. They bear a higher cost of transportation, yet don't have the compensation of income rise. Higher oil costs can prompt slower economic development – especially an issue if consumer spending is less.
