Excise tax

The state charges an excise tax on goods such as cosmetics, alcohol, cars, narcotics, high fashion, etc. This is paid by the seller but usually results in increased prices for the consumer.

Property tax

Property tax is primarily charged to businesses. There is no personal private ownership; instead, New Vanguardia has land use contracts, which stipulate taxes only for business property or “estates”, aka highly-valued and land-intensive property.
