Una tasa es un tributo cuyo hecho imponible consiste en la utilización privativa o el aprovechamiento especial del dominio público, la prestación de servicios o la realización de actividades en régimen de derecho público que se refieran, afecten o beneficien de modo particular al obligado tributario, cuando los servicios o actividades no sean de solicitud o recepción voluntaria para los obligados tributarios o no se presten o realicen por el sector privado. Un ejemplo de ello es la realización del cordón cuneta que pasa delante de una vivienda, el propietario de dicha vivienda deberá pagar la realización de la obra, no así por ejemplo el alumbrado público, ya que lo que se paga por el, es el beneficio que brinda y no es la obra. El alumbrado público se encuentra dentro del grupo de Contribuciones especiales.

A contingent fee is an attorney's fee which is reduced or not charged at all if the court case is lost by the attorney. A service fee, service charge, or surcharge is a fee added to a customer's bill. The purpose of a service charge often depends on the nature of the product and corresponding service provided. Examples of why this fee is charged are: travel time expenses, truck rental fees, liability and workers' compensation insurance fees, and planning fees. UPS and FedEx have recently begun surcharges for fuel.
