Question 1 • World History: Issues and Patterns

How did the Incan tax system work?

Answer
A
The upper class paid taxes on items bought from merchants.
B
The lower class paid taxes based on their individual profits.
C
The lower class paid taxes by providing resources or labor to the government.
D
The upper class paid tribute by serving in the army.

Explanation

In the Incan Empire, ordinary people generally paid taxes through labor service or by contributing goods and resources to the state, rather than paying money based on personal profits. The government could use that labor for projects such as roads, terraces, and building construction. Therefore, the correct choice is “The lower class paid taxes by providing resources or labor to the government.”
