Peasants were taxed the heaviest during the French Revolution. Peasants had to pay land taxes, taxes to the church, and taxes on family members.

Two taxes were around at the time, a tax on land and a tax on salt. More importantly, however, were the corrupt tax collectors, who would collect excess and pocket the change for themselves.
