Answer 2

Answer:

It is illegal to collect tax from farmers, artisans and traders, if the tax collector is not the government. No powerful people of this modern age are allowed to collect tax from other citizens.

In olden days, there were many powerful people spread across the country. They were mostly, zamindars, Rajas and some wealthy who owned many lands. Most of the people have used to work in those wealthy men's farms and lands for their economical purposes.
