Nobles enjoyed feudal privileges. Peasants were obliged to work in their houses and fields, to serve in the army and build roads.
Peasants paid a tax called tithes to the church. The third estate paid a direct tax called taille. In direct tax on salt and tobacco were also levied.
Feudal dues were extracted from the peasants. The Church too extracted its share of taxes called tithes from the peasants, and finally, all members of the third estate had to pay taxes to the state. These included a direct tax, called taille, and a number of indirect taxes which were levied on articles of everyday consumption like salt or tobacco. The burden of financing activities of the state through taxes was borne by the third estate alone.
