 * WP:LEAD
 * I believe the opening paragraph might mention the motivations for having taxes such as producing revenue for the taxing authority or curbing consumption on specific types of goods.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 03:55, 9 May 2011 (UTC)


 * History
 * This sentence is unclear to me: "Unlike previous federal excise taxes, this tax is collected directly from the consumer by the seller and based on the sale price rather than a quantity."
 * This section is not sufficiently broad to meet WP:GA standards. It describes the world long term history and United States history of the last 100 years. Without broadening this section to depict most major economies, this article can not be a GA.

The article in general is too focussed on the U.S. to merit further consideration. I am failing this for severe deficiencies in WP:WIAGA 3 (a).--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 03:55, 9 May 2011 (UTC)
