Answers
Answer:
The Chola Government during the imperial period in 850 – 1200 CE was marked for its uniqueness and innovativeness. Cholas were the first dynasty who tried to bring the entire South India under a common rule and to a great extent succeeded in their efforts. Although the form and protocols of that government cannot be compared to a contemporary form of government, the history of the Chola empire belongs to a happy age in their history and great things were achieved by the government and the people. The Chola system of administration was highly organised and efficient. The king was the central pivot of administration and all the authority rested in his hands.
Various taxes were collected during the Chola period. Taxes were known as vari or irai in Tamil. Periodical land surveys were conducted for assessment of taxes. The Chola kings Rajaraja I and Kulottunga I undertook large scale measurement of lands.
If you file your taxes but don't pay them, the IRS will charge you a failure-to-pay penalty. The penalty is 0.5 percent of your unpaid taxes for each month you don't pay, up to 25 percent. Plus, you'll owe interest on the unpaid amount.
