The Vietnamese word "sưu thuế" is a noun that translates to "taxes and fees" in English. It refers to the various kinds of financial charges imposed by the government on individuals and businesses, usually to fund public services and infrastructure.
In more advanced contexts, "sưu thuế" can be used in discussions about fiscal policy, tax reforms, or government budgeting. For instance, one might say: - "Chính phủ đang xem xét lại hệ thống sưu thuế để cải cách."
(The government is reviewing the tax system for reform.)
While "sưu thuế" primarily refers to taxes and fees, in some contexts, it can also encompass other forms of financial obligations or dues owed to the government.
