Poll Tax
The
"Lay Subsidy" or Poll Tax of 1379 was granted by the spring
parliament of the twelve year old king Richard II.
Unlike the poll tax of
Edward III two years earlier, which was a tax of 4d a head on all the
population over twelve, this tax was graded from 10 marks for the Duke of
Lancaster, down to 4d for a labouring man.

Hearth Tax
The Hearth Tax was introduced in England
and Wales
by parliament to support the
Royal Household of King Charles
II in 1662,
following the restoration of the monarchy in 1660.
The original Act of Parliament was revised in 1663 and 1664, and collection
continued until the tax was repealed by William and Mary in 1689.
Each liable householder was to pay one shilling for
each hearth within their property for each collection of the tax. The Tax was
to be paid twice annually:-
With
payment starting at Michaelmas
1662.
