A quick definition of ad valorem tax:

An ad valorem tax is a type of tax that is based on the value of something. This means that the more something is worth, the more tax you have to pay on it. Taxes are charges that the government imposes on people, businesses, and things to raise money for public needs. They can be paid in different ways, not just with money. For example, you might have to pay a tax to get into a special event. Sometimes, taxes are penalties for not paying them on time or for trying to avoid paying them altogether.

A more thorough explanation:

An ad valorem tax is a type of tax that is based on the value of a product or service. It is a monetary charge imposed by the government on persons, entities, transactions, or property to yield public revenue. This means that the amount of tax you pay is a percentage of the value of the item being taxed.

For example, if you buy a car for $20,000 and the ad valorem tax rate is 5%, you would have to pay $1,000 in taxes. Similarly, if you own a house that is worth $500,000 and the ad valorem tax rate is 1%, you would have to pay $5,000 in taxes.

Ad valorem taxes are commonly used for property taxes, sales taxes, and import/export taxes. They are often used to generate revenue for local governments, such as cities and counties, to fund public services like schools, roads, and public safety.

Overall, ad valorem taxes are a way for the government to collect money from citizens and businesses based on the value of what they own or purchase.
