∙ 10y agoIt was either way. British tea companies had the right to sell to the colonies directly (direct tax). The tax could also be indirect if the money paid for the tea was shipped back to England (indirect tax). I've read many sources and they say different things. To sum it up, the Tea Act (depending on the company or the colony) could either have been a direct or an indirect tax. I hope this was helpful :) !

∙ 13y agoThe tea act didn't actually tax anything. It stated that the colonists could only buy tea from the East India Tea Company. The Townshend act placed a tax on tea and some of the colonists other every day item such as glass, paper, paint, and lead.
