Common mistake:
Learners sometimes confuse "taxable" with "taxed" and "taxing." "Taxable" means that something should have tax paid on it, even if the tax has not been paid yet. "Taxed" means that tax has already been taken or paid. "Taxing" is a different word meaning "difficult" or "tiring," and is not related to money or the government in this sense.
Meaning
