tax
'die Steuer' and 'die Steuereinnahme' both belong to the money that goes to the state. 'Die Steuer' means the charge itself that citizens or companies have to pay, for example income tax or VAT. 'Die Steuereinnahmen' means the money that the state receives through these taxes, usually as a total amount. Learners may confuse the words because both have to do with the same flow of money. In practice: a person pays a tax, while the state has tax revenues.
