What is earmarked tax? In general terms, earmarked tax means that all or a fixed portion of revenues from a particular tax or levy are kept separate from general revenue and used exclusively for a specific government expenditure programme or specific activity.

In general, the word earmark refers to any element of a spending bill that allocates money for a very specific thingâa given project, say, or location, or institution.
