The colonists were taxed on molasses, sugar (Molasses act), newspapers, pamphlets and signing legal documents (Stamp Act). They were also forced to provide British soldiers with food, drink, candles and places to live (Quartering Act). Then there came the Townshend Acts, which taxed tea, paper, glass, lead and paint imported from Britain. The Molasses Act was repealed in 1764, the Stamp Act was repealed in 1766, the Townshend Acts were repealed in about 1773, but Britain kept a tax on tea (Tea Act).

The answer to this question would vary according to country. We'll use the American colonial taxation as an example. During the 1700s, the British taxed the colonies on molasses, rum, sugar, newspapers, pamphlets, legal documents, dice, playing cards, tea, lead, glass, and dyes (paint.) There was also a customs duty to be paid at American ports.
