The Central Government has recently announced a big relief to the common and middle class families through GST reforms. The government says that these reforms will make everyday needs like bread, clothes and houses cheap, but do you know that tax reform is not a new step. In history also, different rulers have been changing the tax system from time to time. Especially during the Mughal period, the tax system was quite organized and strict, which was changed by the rulers from time to time.

Akbar made a big improvement

Land tax was the largest source of tax in the Mughal Empire. Farmers were generally taken from farmers as tax. During Akbar’s reign, his Finance Minister Todarmal made the tax systems more systematic, which was said to be the system. Earlier there was a survey of land in this and then tax was fixed on the basis of the average value of the produce. This reform reduced the burden of arbitrary recovery on farmers and it was considered the biggest tax reform of that time.

Non -Muslims used to be charged

During the Mughal period, non -Muslims were charged Jizia tax, but Akbar ended it by showing religious tolerance. This step is considered a big relief given to the subjects. However, Aurangzeb later re -implemented it. Due to this, the extra burden on the general public increased and dissatisfaction with the tax system also increased.

Trade and toll tax was also charged during the Mughal period

During the Mughal period, there was a tax burden not only on farmers but also on traders and travelers. Taxes used to carry goods from one place to another were called octroi. Object tax was charged for bringing goods in cities. At that time, passengers were taxed on crossing the road or river, which can be called today’s toll tax. That is, every class at that time was the effect of tax in some form. According to historians, Akbar is considered to be the biggest tax reformer of the Mughal period. Because Akbar not only arranged the land tax but also gave relief to the general public by removing the jazia tax.
