Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the history and operation of taxes levied upon fire insurance within England and Wales. Focusing on a report commissioned in 1856 by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and subsequent revisions and updates made to it by the author, the book utilizes data from the 10 years following the 1782 inception of the tax to illustrate the impact of various revisions made to the scale of taxation. The author also delves deeply into the history of fire insurance in Britain from the 1690s onwards, describing the evolution of policies and the practices of insurance companies. An exploration of stamping duties on policies, and a discussion of the disproportionately heavy burden sometimes shouldered by the poorer classes seeking to insure their property further inform the author's position that the tax on fire insurance merits reevaluation. By providing an accessible and detailed analysis of the tax in both its historical and contemporary contexts, the author presents a compelling case for a more equitable and less burdensome approach to the taxation of fire insurance.
