A stealth tax is a tax levied in such a way that is largely unnoticed, or not recognized as a tax and one example of this is where the British Government diverted revenue from the National Lottery to fund public spending and also stamp duty is a stealth tax and also the revaluation of houses for council tax was a stealth tax as well.
