La '''tassa kosher''' si riferisce a una [[leggenda urbana|leggenda metropolitana]], in [[Antisemitismo|chiave antisemita]], secondo la quale i consumatori di ristoranti con specialità [[Kosher|culinarie ebraiche]] pagherebbero inconsapevolmente una "tassa" extra sul consumo, che verrebbe poi destinata dai [[sionismo|sionisti]] al sostegno della causa di [[Israele]]. La pretesa secondo cui i consumatori sarebbero sottoposti a questa tassa è stata avanzata da varie parti<ref name=Lungen/>. Analoghe affermazioni vorrebbero che la "tassa" sia "[[estorsione|estorta]]" alle aziende alimentari, desiderose di sottrarsi al [[boicottaggio]].<ref name=Lungen>{{cita news|lingua=en|autore=Paul Lungen|url=http://www.cjnews.com/viewarticle.asp?id=869|titolo=Jewish, Muslim groups join forces join to protect ritual slaughter|editore=Canadian Jewish News|data=20 febbraio 2003|urlmorto=sì|urlarchivio=https://archive.is/20050506012040/http://www.cjnews.com/viewarticle.asp?id=869|dataarchivio=6 maggio 2005}} {{citazione|Gli antisemiti hanno avanzato la credenza del "calunnia della tassa kosher" secondo cui i consumatori inconsapevoli pagherebbero una tassa extra sui prodotti con certificazione kosher.}}</ref><ref name=Kaplan>{{cita libro|autore=Jeffery Kaplan, Leonard Weinberg|titolo=The emergence of a Euro-American radical right|anno=1999|mese=febbraio|editore=Rutgers University Press|città=New Brunswick (New Jersey)|LCCN=98023536| ISBN 0-8135-2563-2|pagine=163}}</ref><ref name=Levenson>{{cita libro|autore=Barry M.

The Kosher Tax myth claims that the purchase of foods with a kosher symbol on it means that a portion of that money constitutes a tax which benefits the Jewish people. Individuals are advised to go to their cupboards and estimate the worth of all the foods which have those "hidden" symbols on them and claim the money back from the government in their tax returns. Many of the alerts that our offices received about the distribution of the "Kosher Tax" advisories were from accountants who received them as a mailing or were given them along with instructions from their clients to include the material in their taxes. According to these accountants, the people who wanted the refund were not antisemites per se but had received the letters and were ignorant to the meaning of the symbols on the groceries. However, it could be said that those fooled were all too ready to believe the message of the advisories that Jews are sneakily trying to extort money from an unsuspecting public. |urlmorto=sì |urlarchivio=https://web.archive.org/web/20070602082630/http://www.bnaibrith.ca/publications/audit2000/audit2000-04.html#c |dataarchivio=2 giugno 2007 }}</ref><ref name="CRA">[http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/newsroom/releases/1997/mar/kosher-e.html "Revenue Minister concerned by tax deduction misinformation"] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060620203404/http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/newsroom/releases/1997/mar/kosher-e.html |data=20 giugno 2006 }}, [[Canada Revenue Agency]] news release, March 10, 1997.</ref>

Nonostante non si tratti puramente di una teoria antisemita, né di ipotesi di complotto, molte associazioni e personalità si sono espresse al riguardo. Secondo la professoressa di [[sociologia]] all'[[università di Pittsburgh]], [[Kathleen M. Blee]], si tratta di una credenza fondamentalmente razzista nata per boicottare e far decadere il mercato culinario ebraico.<ref name=Blee/>
