Prabaiian Taxation

Prabai's ancient tax system, primarily built on land tax, suited its huge agrarian economic basis, which remained little changed for several thousand years. A variety of other taxes and revenue-like sources including the monopoly of salt and iron and compulsory labour duties were imposed as supplements to formal taxation. Informal taxation existed along with the development of formal taxation because formal tax revenues often could not meet government needs particularly at local levels. An advanced “provincial and prefectural” political regime evolved, from the time of Arrakha II, to enable emperors or rulers to control the large territory. Tax administration was managed by the powerful bureaucratic government under leadership of the Central Senate which effectively controlled nearly all aspects of state power.

Prabai has long been relying on an agrarian economy. Land was always the first and foremost means to secure the durability of the empire. Imperial control over the state’s financial resources had thus to be firm and thorough. The traditional course of its history was in perfect accord with the traditional Gortorian doctrine that agriculture alone offered the necessary economic foundations of the state. The overall tax policy was either for keeping the expropriation of taxes and other charges for government operation to a minimum, or for facilitating agricultural development while reducing commerce and trade, though the specific purpose may vary from emperor to emperor. The main tax type was always land tax.
