The khiraj or Land Revenue:
Land revenue was the major source of the income. It was generally realized at 1/5 of the total produce thought the Sultans like Ala-ud-Din Khilji and Muhammed Tughlak raised it to 1/2 of the produce.
The Jazia Tax:
It was imposed only on the Non-Muslims. It is believed that children, women and friars were exempted from its payment. It was realized at the rate of 10 to 40 takas depending on the payer’s income.
The Octroi Duty:
It was realized on the exchange and transportation of commercial goods. Import tax was levied on goods imported from other countries. It was between 2 ½% to 10%.
