Answer:
The inscriptions of the Cholas who ruled in Tamil Nadu refer to more than 400 terms for different kinds of taxes. The most frequently mentioned tax is vetti, taken not in cash but in the form of forced labour, and kadamai or land revenue. There were also taxes on thatching the house, the use of a ladder to climb palm trees, a cess on succession to family property etc.
Taxes generally fall into the following broad categories:
Income tax
Payroll tax
Property tax
Consumption tax
Tariff (taxes on international trade)
Capitation, a fixed tax charged per person
Fees and tolls
Effective taxes, government policies that aren't explicitly taxes, but result in income to the government through losses to the public
