Production taxes are taxes on goods and services as they are produced, sold, or used, independent of income and property. Excise Duty is a tax on the manufacture or production of goods. Stamp Duty is a tax on the execution of certain documents (like sale deeds, agreements). Property Tax is a tax levied on the ownership of property.
