Excise Duty
Excise Duty is a governmental tax meant for producers and manufacturers on certain goods.
Manufacturers are considered to be:
- Entities who manufacture goods themselves
- Entities who pay a fixed salary for other to manufacture these goods
- Entities who outsource manufacturing, but manufacturing takes place from their name
To cover these costs, manufacturer adds them to COGS (costs of goods sold), where the buyer ends up paying for these costs. Thus, it is considered to be an indirect tax.

Famous quotes containing the word duty:
“an age of unscrupulous and shameless book-making, it is a duty to give notice of the rubbish that cumbers the ground. There is no credit, no real power required for this task. It is the work of an intellectual scavenger, and far from being specially honourable.”
—Richard Holt Hutton (1826–1897)
