The french peasants paid royal taxes, tithes to the church, and manorial dues to the lords
The Third Estate in France, which comprised the majority of the population including peasants and the bourgeoisie, shouldered a significant tax burden, paying approximately 50% of their income in taxes. This included a variety of taxes such as the taille (a direct land tax), the gabelle (a tax on salt), and others. Despite their contributions, the Third Estate had little political power, leading to widespread discontent that contributed to the French Revolution.
In pre-revolutionary France, the Third Estate paid higher taxes compared to the First Estate. The First Estate, comprising the clergy, was largely exempt from many taxes, while the Third Estate, which included commoners, faced heavy taxation despite being the most economically burdened group. This disparity in tax burden contributed to growing discontent and ultimately played a significant role in the French Revolution.
the third estate, who were poor had to pay most of the taxes while the nobles and the clergy only payed a few of the taxes Instead of using frances money to solve their problems, King Louis frivolously squandered it on fighting costly wars the they never won or on buying luxuries for Marie - Antoinette. They were forced to do military service. They could not own land or places of position such as officers in the army.
The Third Estate. It represented 99 % of the population including the bougeoise, workmen and peasants. All of them had to pay taxes. The other two estates - the clergy and the nobility did not contribute to the budget, but through their privileges they did not pay taxes, their income and wealth came from others' labour and taxes and tolls.
