What kind are each of these? How do you know?

The Federal Government collects Income Taxes, Social Security, Medicare (Government Programs)
State Governments collect Income taxes, and things that are statewide – like hunting licenses, drivers licenses, liquor license.
Here are my guesses:
corporate income tax: Federal and State
dog license tax: Local
estate tax: Federal and State
federal unemployment tax: Federal
fishing license tax: State
fuel permit tax: State
hunting license tax: State
food license tax: Local
liquor tax: Federal
medicare tax: Federal
social security tax: Federal
school tax: Local (County)
utility tax: Local
well permit tax: State
vehicle sales tax: State
workers compensation tax: State
septic permit tax: Local
service charge tax: Local
individual income taxes: Federal and State
sales tax: Local (may have some State as well)
marriage license tax: Local (County)
property tax: Local (County)
automobile registration tax: State
building permit tax: Local
cigarette tax: Federal
Some of those are taxes, some are fees. If you don’t know what
you’re paying… ask the person you hand your money to.
