  • Peasants, cattle-keepers, artisans, and all those who produced something, had to pay taxes or rents, and traders had to pay revenue.
  • Under the Chola dynasty, there were around 400 different types of taxes, from which <i>vetti</i> (forced labour), and <i>kadamai</i> (land revenue) were the most common.
  • The reasons of collecting taxes were; to fulfil the finance of the king's establishments, to build temples and forts, and to fight wars.
