Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

An excise tax is a tax levied on the consumption of a specific product or service. If the price elasticity of demand of a product that is affected by a excise tax is lower than -1 (price elasticity of demand is usually negative), the quantity demanded for that product will be seriously affected (will decrease significantly) by the excise tax.
