Answer: Indirect Tax
An Indirect Tax such as sales tax, property tax, values added tax or goods and services tax is the tax collected by an intermediary such as a retail store from the person who bares the ultimate economic burden of the tax such as the consumer. The intermediary later files the tax return and forwards the tax proceeds to the government with the tax return. An indirect tax may increase the price of a good to raise the price of the products for the consumers e.g. fuel, cigarette taxes.
