4 Shillings in the Pound Tax, 1693-94: Tax on Real and Personal Property (1693-4)

London Households 1693

A tax raised by Parliament to fund King William's European warfare.

The 4s aid of 1693-4 imposed tax on three sources of actual or potential income: i) it required that everybody pay 4s in the pound on the yearly profits accruing to any personal estate in the form of ready moneys, debts owing, goods, wares, merchandises, other chattels belonging to them; ii) those in public service paid 4s on every 20s earned as their official salary; and iii) a tax of 4s in the pound was levied on every person based on the rack-rent value of their property. The tax was not collected where rents failed to reach a yearly value of 20s.
