Check these as examples of excise taxes:
- gambling (yes — gaming/betting taxes)
- cigarettes (yes — classic excise/"sin" tax)
- movies (yes — admissions/amusement taxes)
- baseball games (yes — admissions/amusement taxes)
- alcohol (yes — classic excise/"sin" tax)
- gasoline (yes — motor fuel excise tax)
- hotels (yes — transient occupancy/hotel taxes)

Do not check:
- fast-food restaurants (generally no — restaurant/food sales are usually subject to sales tax, not a specific excise tax, unless a locality has a targeted excise like a soda/“junk food” tax)
