Yes. The colonies were British subjects and therefore were under the rule of the king. The tax rate for the colonies was less than for the people living in Britain. The legendary story about the Boston Tea Party is about the tea tax, but in reality the tax was lowered and not raised. The problem rose with the tax when the smugglers' of Dutch tea was higher than the British tea. This was business. The population of the colonies really were not concerned about taxes.
