History of Taxation

The history of taxation in the U.S. began when it was composed of colonies ruled by the British, French and Spanish empires. After independence from Europe the U.S. collected poll taxes, tariffs, and excise taxes. The United States imposed income taxes intermittently until 1895 when unapportioned taxes on interest, dividends and rents were ruled unconstitutional. The advent of the 16th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution modified the apportionment requirement in 1913, and since then the income tax has became one of the means of funding the Federal Government.
