In the feudal system, taxes were collected by the lords or nobility from the peasants who worked the land. The peasants were required to provide goods or services in exchange for the protection and use of the land. Each lord had the authority to establish and collect taxes within their own domain.
Peasants did not have many responsibilities in the feudal system. All they had to do was pay their tither, or 10% of their crops, to the church. Otherwise, they did not have many responsibilities. ----- Peasants who were yeoman farmers had their own holdings. They had to pay tax to their feudal lords or the king, and to be ready to serve in the army, usually as archers. Peasants who were freeman tenants had to pay rent, usually in the form of money, to their landlords. Those who were serfs had to pay rent, usually in the form of work, and had to work common fields with other serfs. They were obliged never to move away from the manors on which they lived, but in exchange for this got a place to live, jobs, and protection.
A peasant owned no land, so they weren't directly a part of the feudal system. Many peasants worked on lands owned by knights or nobles.
