A quick definition of legacy tax:

A legacy tax is a type of tax that the government charges on people, entities, transactions, or property to generate public revenue. It is a way for the government to collect money from individuals and businesses to support the needs of the public. Taxes can take many forms, including duties, imposts, and excises, and are not always payable in money. Essentially, a tax is a contribution that individuals and businesses are required to make to support the government and its activities.

A more thorough explanation:

A legacy tax is a type of tax imposed by the government on persons, entities, transactions, or property to yield public revenue. It is a monetary charge that is payable to the government.

The term "tax" is broad and includes all governmental impositions on the person, property, privileges, occupations, and enjoyment of the people. This includes duties, imposts, and excises. Although a tax is often thought of as being pecuniary in nature, it is not necessarily payable in money.

Examples of taxes include:

  • Accrued tax: A tax that has been incurred but not yet paid or payable.
  • Accumulated-earnings tax: A penalty tax imposed on a corporation that has retained its earnings in an effort to avoid the income-tax liability arising once the earnings are distributed to shareholders as dividends.
  • Additional tax: A tax imposed as a stopgap measure.
  • Admission tax: A tax imposed as part of the price of being admitted to a particular event.

These examples illustrate how taxes can take different forms and be imposed for various reasons. They all serve the purpose of generating revenue for the government to fund public services and programs.
