What is the antonym for subsidize?

The antonym for subsidize depends on the context, but some common options are:

* Tax (if you're thinking of government financial support)

* Charge (if you're thinking of making something more expensive)

* Deregulate (if you're thinking of removing financial support from an industry)

* Reduce (if you're thinking of decreasing financial assistance)

* Deprive (if you're thinking of removing financial support entirely)

For example:

* Instead of subsidizing the industry, the government decided to tax it.

* The company decided to charge customers for the service instead of subsidizing it.

* Deregulating the industry would remove the government subsidies it currently receives.

* The government decided to reduce its subsidies to the arts.

* The company was deprived of its government subsidies and had to close down.

The best antonym will depend on the specific situation you're describing.
