Luxury Tax

A luxury tax is a tax imposed on goods and services that are considered non-essential or beyond the reach of average consumers. It targets high-priced items like expensive cars, jewelry, and designer clothing. The idea is to generate revenue from wealthier individuals while discouraging excessive spending on luxury items. Luxury taxes can also promote social equity by redistributing wealth, as the funds collected may be used for public services or programs that benefit the broader community. However, critics argue it could negatively affect luxury markets and jobs associated with them.
