neutral Kim Metzger : It's not a question of whether a term gets a lot of Google hits. It's a question of what the correct translation is.

transaction tax or surcharge

I'd call it. You buy something and they level a surcharge on the transaction. In Illinois, we have the 7% 'sales tax' on everything except drugs and health services.
Peer comment(s):

neutral Kim Metzger : Any reference to "Erwerbsbesteuerung insbesondere im Sinne der 6. EG MWSt-Richtlinie"? I can't see what Illinois has to do with the European Union. ADDED: it's a matter of the terminology used in the EU.
