Did you ever wonder what life was like for peasant before the French revolution? Well, think again. Here’s the story.
The main issue was that the tax burden was not distributed equally. The nobility and clergy enjoyed many privileges and were exempt from taxes. However, peasants like you had to bear the majority of the tax burden. This is the tax you had to pay.
The taille was a tax on land or income, which varied from province to province. The capitation was a poll tax that everyone was supposed to pay, but the nobles and clergy often avoided it.
The vingtième was a tax on income or property, which the privileged classes could easily evade.
