Levy
From ACT Wiki
1. Verb.
To charge or impose a fee or a tax.
2. Tax.
A particular tax or similar charge.
Levies are usually imposed on specific groups, or for specific purposes - sometimes for a limited period - rather than being part of general taxation on all taxpayers.
For example, the UK's Climate Change Levy, and the levy payable to fund the Financial Services Compensation Scheme.
