Who invented taxation? |
Who invented taxation? The Greeks didn't invent taxation, taxes have been around since the earliest of recorded times. Before the Greeks, there were easily the Egyptians, the Sumerians, and the Phoenicians who taxed. Here's two links that offer a short history of taxation, though. Source(s): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/tax#a_histo... http://www.taxworld.org/history/taxhisto... probably the greeks...they invented democracy taxes have been around since there was money. the powerful would charge taxes for protection i dont know but he/she invented something disgusting i dont know but thanks for the points I believe it was the Egyptians, for some sort of (cooking) oil tax. Some things never change. |
