Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book provides an analysis of the evolution of local taxation in England and Wales from the latter part of the 17th century. The author has used extracts from Parliamentary returns to build a detailed picture of local taxation during this period. The author describes how the Poor Rate, which was originally conceived to help the poor, evolved into a multifaceted tool to address various local issues, including the maintenance of roads and bridges, and the establishment of poorhouses. The author reveals that the total local taxation in 1748 was £1,186,144; by 1839, it had increased to £10,089,832. The book offers a valuable insight into the development of local taxation in England and Wales and its impact on the lives of ordinary people.
