Governments levy taxes for two reasons, to raise revenue to fund their spending or change citizens behaviours (by either rewarding or punishing the behaviours they want to change). We look at the effect on society of the 420 BC - Sex tax, 870 - Breast tax, 1535 Beard tax and the 1807 Killing of squirrels tax, to name a few.Some historical taxes will make us question the legislators sanity (the 1800 Tax on eye colour), while others were damaging to our health (the 2009 Pro-cigarette smoking tax). Like them or loathe them, there is no doubt taxes have shaped history and the world we live in today.
