Talk:tax

I've reorganized this article. A single definition really covers all the different kinds of tax in English, although that's evidently not the case in other languages. There are many different kinds of tax besides the two that were previously listed. I've added some more; there may be others I haven't thought of. I'm not so sure about the way the translation section is arranged: would it be better to have separate entries for income tax, sales tax, etc. and move the translations into those entries? -- Ortonmc 21:09, 4 Dec 2003 (UTC)
