Скачать или смотреть English Taxes: Hearth Tax, Window Tax & Brick Tax

Three English historical taxes, from 1662 to 1851, saw tax collectors sent out into the country to tax physical items - hearths, windows, and bricks.

These were commonly found and widely used items, with strong demand, and Parliament used the items to levy broad taxes. These taxes fit a simpler economy. Unfortunately, the intrusiveness of the taxes caused all three no small amount of unpopularity.

The hearth tax was snuffed out by 1689 and the window tax and bricks tax were abandoned in 1850 & 1851. But they provide some insight into how taxes work and how taxes have changed.
