Tax in the Middle Ages was known as a tithe, Farmers had to offer a tenth of their harvest, while craftsmen had to offer a tenth of their production.

Obviously, there were many different taxes in the Middle Ages, levied by different sources. You might pay taxes to your liege lord, your town, your trade guild, or even to your King. Under a Feudal system, taxes were most commonly paid in a form of promised service or in goods, rather than in money.

The tithe was a specific form of religious tax, paid to the Catholic Church. As noted above, a tithe was one-tenth of your total yearly income or output, to be paid to your local church.
