When he ascended the throne, he found an empty treasury. This is because France helped 13 American colonies to gain independence, money also used up for maintenance of king's court, taxes were levied only on the third estate, and lenders who had given the state credit began to charge 10% interest.
So to meet his expenses and refill his treasury, Louis XVI increased taxes.
