Concept: The tax charged on goods produced and sold within a country is called excise duty.
Explanation:Excise duty is an indirect tax imposed on goods manufactured and consumed domestically.
It applies to products such as alcohol, tobacco, and petroleum.
The producer or manufacturer pays the tax first.
The cost is then added to the selling price, so the final consumer bears the burden.
Goods tax is too broad and not the official term.
Income tax is charged on personal earnings, not on manufactured goods.
Custom duty is levied on goods imported into or exported from a country.
Thus, only excise duty matches the given definition.
