Scottish Exchequer (Tax Records), Male servant tax - Volume 25 - Counties (see 'More info' for county details), E326/5/25
Volume 25 contains male servant tax rolls for each county except Orkney. For most counties the rolls cover 1795-6 but those for Caithness, Cromartyshire, Lanarkshire, Morayshire, Nairnshire, and Sutherland cover 1796-7 and those for Midlothian and Ross-shire cover 1796-1798.
Scottish Exchequer (Tax Records)
The Scottish Exchequer, and subsequently the Court of Exchequer, were concerned with the accounting of collected taxes in Scotland. These taxes include the Carriage tax (1785-1798), Cart tax (1785-1798), Clock and watch tax (1797-1798), Dog tax (1797-1798), Farm horse tax (1797-1798), Servant tax (1777-1798), Hearth tax (1691-1695), Horse tax (1785-1798), Inhabited house tax (1778-1798), Land tax (1645-1831), Poll tax (1694-1698), Shop tax (1785-1789), Window tax (1748-1798). Following the Consolidating Acts (38 Geo. III cap. 40 and 41), the duties on windows, inhabited houses, male servants, carts, carriages and dogs were incorporated in Consolidated Schedules of Assessed Taxes (1798-1799).
