Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The type of state sales tax levied on specific items like motor vehicle fuel, alcohol, and tobacco products is referred to as a selective sales tax. This contrasts with a general sales tax, which is applied to almost all goods and services. A securities turnover tax is a tax on the buying and selling of securities, and does not apply to the items listed in the question. "Active" and "passive" are not relevant terms in this context.
