Departure tax, also known as an exit tax, is a fee charged by a government or authority when a traveler departs from a country. This tax can be levied on various forms of travel, including air, land, or sea departures. The purpose of a departure tax can vary, but it generally serves to generate revenue for the government. The funds collected may be used to support infrastructure, tourism, and other public services.
