King George the Third put a tax on tea because he couldn't afford the affars any morewell yea that's right but really it was for the french and Indian war!!h
The Boston Tea Party was a result of the King taxing the colonist. The king put a tax on the tea and basically forced them to buy it. The colonists then dressed up like Indians ( to conceal their identity) and dumped the tea into the harbor. After that the king closed all of Bostons ports until the tea was payed for.

Because they did like the King putting taxes on everything.
lead, glass, paints, paper, and tea.
Because they opposed the tea tax and did not want to be branded as followers of the King.
In the US, there is NOOO tax on tea.
Because the colonists objected to the monopoly on tea and the import duty. Because the colonists did not like Britain put a tax on tea.
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.
