Taxes

[unmerged(485)]

When will we collect them? On Jan. 1st as in the EU games or on Michaelmas (Sept. 29th) like they did in England and France during CK times?

Does it really make a difference? No, I was just bored waiting to hear about the beta and thought I would throw the question open to discussion.

Don't know about the rest of Europe but I am sure someone will enlighten us all.

Also some stuff concerning accounting was on Candlemas (Feb. 2nd) but I am not sure if it was tax collection.

If you have a strong ruler on the throne, when ever you want, make those nobles suffer.

With a weak ruler, maybe every 5 years; when the nobles feel like it.

What about parliaments with England?

when I browsed the threads I thought it said Texas.

man, do I need a break.

just so this post has some relevance, were taxes even collected at regular intervals or was regular taxation something that developed after the collapse of feudalism?

Suzerainty does entail the right to tax, doesn't it?

The Church levied the tithe onto the whole of the population (10% of the production). Only monastic orders and the Templars were exempt. (Ooooh, the Templars.... conspiracy )

I guess it depends if it is local, ducal or national taxes. I thought there were a lot of "special taxes" during this period.

Many taxes were consumption related. Like the tax on salt.

And there were many different fees for crossing bridges or setting up shop in a town etc. etc.
