HEARTH TAX 1662/1664
The Hearth Tax was an attempt to tax people according to their wealth, working on the principle that the wealthier they were the more hearth’s they would have in their home. The tax and variants were in existence for several decades but records for Pillaton only exist for 1662 and 1664. It was often found that people had stopped up hearths after the first taxation in order to reduce their tax. Notes may refer to the differences between the two collections.
