The primary reason is that Britain continually and increasingly taxed the colonists on common goods that they grew(Sugar, Tobacco etc.) without providing the colonists representation in Parliament; the colonists were taxed without providing consent. This has come to be known as 'taxation without representation'.
I should note, that in defence of Britain, the colonists weren't taxed at all before this, so it is not as though taxes were suddenly and unreasonably raised beyond levels that they could afford.
