Why is it masculine?
Impôt is masculine because it derives from the Latin "impositum" (neuter past participle of "imponere," meaning "to impose"), which became masculine in Old French following the sound changes that eliminated the Latin neuter gender—words ending in -um typically became masculine nouns in Romance languages. The semantic shift from "that which is imposed" to "tax" preserved this masculine classification.
