Hidden tax
Hey kiddo! Have you ever heard of a hidden tax? It's kind of like when you play a game and there are hidden traps or obstacles that you don't see coming.
Well, a hidden tax is kind of like that, but with money. Sometimes, the government will put little taxes on things you buy or use, but they won't tell you about it. That's why they call it a "hidden" tax.
For example, let's say you buy a candy bar. You give the cashier your money, and they give you the candy bar. Seems pretty simple, right?
But behind the scenes, there might be a hidden tax on that candy bar. The candy company might have to pay extra money to the government when they make the candy, and they might pass that cost on to you by making the candy more expensive.
Or take gasoline for example. When you buy gas, you pay a certain amount per gallon, but did you know that there are taxes and fees added on top of that price? These additional costs are hidden taxes that you don't see.
So, while you might not know it, you're actually paying more than you think for some things because of these hidden taxes. It's important to remember that these taxes help pay for things like schools, roads, and hospitals, but it's still good to be aware of them so you can budget your money wisely.
Hope that helps, kiddo!
