tax or levy depends on where you are but since it is 'belasting', I prefer tax.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Michael Beijer: since a "tax" is "levied", I'd say both are correct, depending on the context / PS: just asked again @ https://www.proz.com/kudoz/6399790
