Usage Note

Tassare is a regular first-conjugation verb meaning to impose a tax on something or someone — tassare i redditi (to tax incomes). The related noun is tassa (tax, fee) and the adjective tassabile (taxable). It takes avere as its auxiliary. Do not confuse tassa with imposta, which refers to a state-imposed tax in more formal/legal contexts.
