History of Taxation

Biblical Times

“Make an offering of ten percent, a tithe, of all the produce which grows in your fields year after year” Deuteronomy 14:22

In the Qur’an

“Know that whatever of a thing you acquire, a fifth of it is for Allah, for the messenger, for the near relative, and the orphans, the needy, and the wayfarer…(8:41)..one-fifth or 20%”

Roman Times

History records that, during the final death throes of the Empire, Emperor Galerius imposed a higher capitation tax (from the Latin word “caput” meaning “head”) on each person in the Empire.
Julius Caesar imposed a one-per-cent sales tax;
Augustus instituted an inheritance tax to provide retirement funds for the military

Especially in South African tax laws.
