tax of 1773
3 pence per pound. It was considerably lower than the previous tax, but tricked the colonial merchants out of their money.
The Boston Tea Party was a (traditionally believed) response to the British tea tax. The Tea Party itself taxed nothing.
England taxed tea and sugar during colonial times to pay for the military protection of the colonies from possible attacks from Native Americans and their French Allies.
They were furious and thought it was an unfair thing since they were being taxed without their conscious. Thats how it led to the Boston Tea Party.
The "Tea Act" of 1773 allowed the importation of tea by the East India Company into America, which made it subject to the Townshend Act of 1767, the actual tea tax.
