Why did they take the tax for the windows

In 1696, a tax on windows was introduced in England. The tax was not levied on every window — the owners of houses with 10-14 windows had to pay one amount, with 15-19 windows –another. Initially, the window tax was introduced to replenish the royal treasury of William the Third. From 1747 to 1808, the tax was increased six times. It was quite easy to assemble it, because all the windows were visible from the street. The application of the window tax has led to the fact that in English cities they have begun to build buildings with fewer windows, or even without them at all. The tax has also had a negative impact on glass production. • British doctors of that time complained that because of the ill-fated tax, apartment buildings without windows began to be built in the country. In such apartments, darkness and dampness reigned – it was from there that various kinds of epidemics spread. In 18 51, the window tax was finally abolished - it was replaced by a housing tax. In addition to England, the window tax has long existed in France and Scotland. • 👉 The best video editor with AI https://goo.su/gBFUy • 👉 Create your AI videos https://goo.su/b8EaZ • 👉 Boody is a sustainable casual https://goo.su/j8zWYH • Help us create exciting content!
