Summer-Land Tax
This is a big money-maker for the king, and he can always count on at least a certain amount of income from his estates. It shows quite clearly why land is such a valuable commodity in the feudal society.
Every acre is assessed a function and the legal owner of that acreage is assessed a rated tax. In general, the more useful or developed the land is, the more it is worth, and therefore, the more it is taxed.
Land Type | Tax per Acre |
---|---|
Barren | 1/2 cp |
Pond or Lake | 1 cp |
Uncultivated | 1 cp |
Woodland | 1 cp |
Cultivated | 2 cp |
Town | 6 cp |
Fortified | 1 sp |
On the above chart, land which is owned within a non-walled city is deemed to be in a “town” for tax purposes. Land within the confines of a protective wall is deemed to be “fortified.”
