All of the above
Correct answer
Why this is the answer
Excise duty is a tax levied on the production of certain goods within a country. While the introduction of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) has replaced excise duties on many products, certain goods such as alcoholic beverages, petrol, and diesel remain outside GST and are subject to excise duty. Therefore, the correct answer is all of the above. Plastic products and detergents, when not covered by GST exemptions, may also be subjected to excise duty, although these are largely under GST now. The key point is that excise is applied at the point of manufacturing.
