A royalty, paid to a government, as a condition of business? Yes, I’d call it a sales tax, property tax, income tax, etc. based on what it was grounded in.

- gamblor956 3y agoTo put this as an example of why your logic doesn't work: it would mean that an utility bill is just a bill if paid to Comcast or Pacific Gas, but a tax if paid to a publicly-owned utility like LADWP for exactly the same services. A bill isn't a tax just because it's a bill from the government.
