- Income Tax: Tax on income such as wages earned by individuals or profits made by businesses
- Gift Tax: Taxes charged when someone transfers valuable assets such as stocks or real estate, or large sums of money (starting at $16,000 in the U.S.)
- Capital Gains Tax: Tax placed on the profits from selling investments such as real estate, stocks and bonds, jewelry and coin collections.
- Estate Tax: When a person dies and passes their estate to someone else, whether through a will or according to state law, a tax is placed on the assets.
