Far less than today: a tenth of national income in Britain, perhaps 2-4% in the American colonies and somewhere between in most of Europe. Most taxes were on trade (tariffs, octrois), consumption (salt, tea) or assets (land, buildings, wealth). Poll (per head) taxes were also levied, though often these were graduated according to social or economic rank.
The answer to this question would vary according to country. We'll use the American colonial taxation as an example. During the 1700s, the British taxed the colonies on molasses, rum, sugar, newspapers, pamphlets, legal documents, dice, playing cards, tea, lead, glass, and dyes (paint.) There was also a customs duty to be paid at American ports.

In the 1700s, laws such as the Stamp Act and the Townshend Acts violated the English Bill of Rights by imposing taxes on the American colonies without their consent, which was seen as a violation of the principle of no taxation without representation. These actions fueled growing discontent in the colonies and ultimately led to the American Revolution.
