To pay off money used during the war; Britain was in debt and British people were paying full tax. The Colonists were paying 40% of taxes and the British thought of this as the most logical answer.

∙ 13y agoThe English government under George III had incurred enormous debt in fighting the French during the 7 years war. The British Parliament felt the colonies should help pay for some of these costs, through direct taxation, since the colonies benefited from "red coat" protection. Direct taxation offended the colonies because it was placed on them by Parliament without their consent. Thus the colonial battle cry: "no taxation without representation".
