The British government wanted to raise taxes on the colonist after they funded the French and Indian War, and needed money. The colonist decided they did not want to be taxed without representation in the government. -"No Taxation Without Representation" was a slogan that was used to deflect the real desire to expand into the western land, to which England had made treaties with the indian nations not to expand into its territories, to end the French/Indian wars. So, began the American habit of repeatedly breaking treaties with the Indians.
The British taxed the colonists to pay for their war debts from the French and Indian War and to pay for the soldiers who were enforcing the boundaries from the Proclamation of 1763.
The government was low on cash because of the war and saw this as a way to refill their pockets.

The colonist thought that they did not deserve to be taxed since they won the war for the British, but the British thought differently. The British saw it as since they supplies and funded food and supplies for the soldiers that it was fair. But why did the British need to tax the colonist? Well after supplying good for the colonist they were in severe debt. They thought the best way to get out of debt was to tax the colonist on everything. From sugar, to even taxing them on important document. It later turned into the British taxing them on basically everything.
