[Wiktionary](http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Apple_tax) more or less defines
"Apple tax" as

> The price premium paid by consumers of Apple consumer products over
> comparable devices from competitors.

Is there an equivalent term in Japanese for "Apple tax" (or other mock taxes,
such as a [wedding](http://www.yelp.com/list/weddings-are-hard-to-plan-so-im-
eloping-san-francisco) [tax](http://offbeatbride.com/2007/11/wedding-tax) for
increased costs of items when they're associated with a wedding)? If so, what
is it?

I tried Wiktionary and jisho.org without any luck.

words translation
"Apple tax" in Japanese
We do say アップル[税]{ぜい} if that is what you are looking for.

For "wedding tax", I doubt that we have an exact counterpart but a somewhat-
related, more generic word would be ご[祝儀価格]{しゅうぎかかく}, which literally means
"celebratory price".
