Hearth Tax, 1672
The Hearth Tax was introduced by the government of Charles II in 1662. The original Act of Parliament was revised in 1663 and 1664, and collection continued until the tax was finally repealed by William and Mary in 1689. Under the terms of the grant, each liable householder was to pay one shilling for each hearth within their property for each collection of the tax. Payments were due twice annually, at Michaelmas (29 September) and Lady Day (25 March), starting at Michaelmas 1662.
The Hearth Tax was payable by people whose house was worth more than 20s. a year, and who contributed to local church and poor rates. Large numbers of people were exempt from payment, such as people who paid neither church nor poor rate Industrial hearths such as kilns and furnaces, were exempt but not smithies and bakeries. Tax officials were required to provide exemption certificates for those not eligible to pay.
