Answer:

Chanakya or Kutilya was the prime minister of Chandragupta Maurya at the time. He was known for his intellect and he is the one who devised the revenue system. While Chanakya wrote the duties of the Collector-general he also mentioned the items on which the revenue will be implied. These items were:

a share of land output;

Other dues and cesses levied on land including a water-rate. The water rate varied according to the nature of the land and crop and tax on houses in towns.
