impuesto
Tax.
In this sentence, 'impuesto' refers to a financial charge or levy imposed by the government on individuals or entities.
El gobierno aumentó el impuesto sobre la renta este año.
The government increased the income tax this year.
Here, 'impuesto' is the past participle of the verb 'imponer', meaning 'compelled' or 'forced', indicating an obligation or pressure felt due to external circumstances.
Me siento impuesto por las circunstancias a actuar de cierta manera.
I feel compelled by circumstances to act in a certain way.
The term 'impuesto' is again derived from 'imponer' in its perfect tense form, indicating that new rules have been established or enforced.
