excise tax

Don't we already have the sense at excise? Wikipedia defines "excise" and "excise tax" as the same thing. ---> Tooironic 15:36, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

I have no evidence, but a sneaking suspicion that this is a dialectal difference, with Americans now using excise tax and others (Brits now? Brits formerly? Americans formerly? someone) using excise alone. Evidence for or against that suspicion shouldn't be too hard to find.​—msh210℠ (talk) 17:42, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

I support msh's suspicion. Excise without tax is not very common in the US. DCDuring TALK 19:18, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

Keep. excise is the abbreviation of excise tax. --Anatoli ^{(обсудить)} 01:40, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

Keep as well. I don't ever say excise to mean excise tax. Never heard of the former being used to refer to the latter either. Jamesjiao → ^{T ◊ C} 21:15, 8 February 2012 (UTC)
