Taxes are generally distortionary. This means they affect the behaviour of consumers and/or producers. If the private market would achieve a Pareto efficient outcome without the tax, then when a distortionary tax is introduced, it moves society away from the Pareto efficient outcome. In other words, it makes society as a whole worse off. The efficiency loss is known as the "excess burden" or "deadweight loss" of the tax.

Give an example of a tax and explain how it distorts consumer and/or producer decisions. Explain why this impact on consumer and/or producer behaviour might be inefficient.

Note: Be specific! Do not give a general example like "the GST makes consumers buy fewer goods" - instead, try to think of a tax on a very specific item (or at least how a general tax like the GST might affect a very specific item.(100 words
