# Tax on Luxuries
|
||||
|
||||
## Definition
|
||||
|
||||
A tax imposed on goods that are not essential for life and whose consumption
|
||||
is optional, which falls directly on the consumers of these goods without
|
||||
affecting the wages of labour or the prices of other commodities.
|
||||
|
||||
## Source Chapter
|
||||
|
||||
Book V, Chapter 2
|
||||
|
||||
## Context
|
||||
|
||||
Smith considers taxes on luxuries to be more equitable than taxes on necessaries
|
||||
because they are paid voluntarily by those who choose to consume such goods,
|
||||
and they do not have the broader economic effects of raising wages or prices.
