Also means
to record (audio/video)
Usage Note
Gravar means to impose a tax or charge on something, and is distinct from grabar (to record or engrave) — a common spelling confusion for learners. Using the wrong form can change the meaning entirely: El gobierno grava las importaciones (taxes imports) vs. graba la canción (records the song).
Examples
"El Estado grava los beneficios empresariales."
Natural Translation
The state taxes corporate profits.
