CBO revenue line

Excise taxes

Taxes on specific goods or activities (fuel, alcohol, tobacco, aviation, and more).

What this means

Excise taxes are levied on particular products or activities rather than general income. Many finance trust funds (highways, airports). CBO also shows finer sub-lines for gasoline, diesel, aviation, alcohol, tobacco, and other categories.
