Synonyms & antonyms
  • Synonym課するかするWrittenWritten verb for imposing taxes, duties or tasks; broader in use than 「賦課」, and it can even mean assigning homework.
  • Synonym課すかすWrittenWritten godan-verb form of 「課する」 with the same meaning, as in 「ノルマを課す」.
  • Synonym課税かぜいNeutralNeutral word for taxing specifically; more common in everyday use, while 「賦課」 also covers insurance premiums and other apportioned charges.
  • Synonym科するかするWrittenWritten verb for inflicting punishments or fines; it stresses penalty, unlike 「賦課」, which apportions costs and fees.
  • Synonym賦するふするWrittenWritten, archaic verb meaning to allocate or to compose poetry; little to do with taxation and rarely used in modern Japanese.
  • Synonym賦税ふぜいWrittenA written, old-fashioned noun for taxes themselves, not the act of levying them.
  • Related徴税ちょうぜいWrittenWritten noun for the collecting of taxes; it stresses taking the money in, while 「賦課」 stresses fixing and apportioning the burden.
  • Related収税しゅうぜいWrittenWritten noun for collecting taxes, close to 「徴税」 but an old-fashioned term little used today.
  • Antonym免除めんじょNeutralNeutral antonym: exempting someone from an obligation or charge, the opposite of 「賦課」, which imposes the burden.

For taxation say 「課税」 or 「徴税」, with the verb 「課す」; use 「賦課」 for officially fixing and apportioning taxes, insurance premiums and similar charges, and 「科する」 for penalties. 「課する」 also covers assigning tasks, 「免除」 is the opposite, 「賦税」 names taxes themselves, and 「賦する」 and 「収税」 are dated.
