Yes, there were many taxes imposed on the American colonies by the British Empire.
"Abuse" is probably not the right word. And it was not the King in person by then who ruled Britain and its colonies, it was the British government and Parliament. What happened was that a couple of taxes were imposed that were highly unpopular amongst the colonists, who then unsuccessfully demanded that taxes should and could only be imposed on them if they were adequately represented in the British Parliament. One of the unpopular measures was that Britain had left a sizable army in the colonies after the French-Indian war and levied a tax on the colonies to pay for its upkeep. Britain held that the army was there for the colonies' protection in case the hostilities were renewed, so it was only right that they should pay for it. The colonies saw the army as an occupation force and considered having to pay for it as adding insult to injury.
The first tax imposed on American citizens was by order of the British Parliament. These taxes were imposed to help the economy of Great Britain following the financial devastation that was left after the French and Indian War.

It was a declaration of independance from England. It was meant as a "we are separating from England" document to let the world know that America has become it's own nation and will govern itself.
Jefferson is referring to King George III of England in his "He has" statements. Jefferson is telling the world of the offenses that the British monarchy has imposed on the colonies.
