	Various records exist for taxes levied throughout Scottish history. Originally, government revenues came from property owned by the crown. The government levied small-scale, national taxes during times of specific financial need. National taxes were separate from the local taxes, or rates, which were collected by the parishes for local services and poor relief (see [[Scotland Church Records]] or [[Scotland Poorhouses, Poor Law, Etc]]). Separate records may have been created for the assessment and collection of the taxes.		Various records exist for taxes levied throughout Scottish history.
