Question

Individuals who qualify as a resident of a country must pay tax on their income to
the government. Similarly, the rulers of the Mahajanapadas also collected taxes from
their people. Enlist how or in what form the farmers and the craft persons paid taxes
to their rulers.

Answer 1

Answer:

Since the rulers of Mahajanapadas used to build huge forts and upheld large armies, they were always in need of resources. So, rather than depending on occasional gifts brought by the people, they collected regular taxes from the people.
