The French and Indian War was expensive. To help pay for it, Britain began taxing American colonists. In 1764, the British Parliament passed the Sugar Act, which levied taxes on molasses and sugar. Some colonists objected to this tax. Because they did not have a representative in Parliament, they did not believe that Britain had a right to tax them. "No taxation without representation!" was the cry. Because the sugar tax was collected at ports, it was easily circumvented. Indirect taxes such as these were also much less visible to the consumer.

Actually, they weren't. The difference was that the Tea Act was written in a way to try to look like something other than a tax, but also so if the colonists accepted it, the British Parliament would argue that they had accepted the power of Parliament to tax them without representation. Colonists who understood the world situation also objected to the tax because it was a move by Parliament to bail out the British East India Company by raising money from the colonists. Giant corporations were regarded as oppressing the colonists along with the Crown, so fighting the tea tax was a fight against two evils at once.
