The taxes were to help pay for the French and Indian war. They reasoned that they were protecting the colonists and the colonists were English subjects so they should help pay for the war.
They believed thy didn't have to pay British taxes because they were the colonists after all
The colonies actually paid a great deal less in taxes that did the people in England. This caused problems back home where the people there complained about paying taxes to supply soldiers and administration in the Colonies, not only in America but everywhere Great Britain had Colonies. For these reasons, certain taxes were levied on items such as public papers, tea and other imported items, and colonists were made to house soldiers. This infuriated some Colonists, and as time passed others were stirred up as well against England's administration, even though most Colonists still considered themselves British.

this made the colonists unable to move west of the appalachians. they had to pay multiple taxes and this made the colonists angry at parliament.
because the colonists did feel it was fair to pay the taxes so they rebelled against the kings laws and dumped340 chests of tea in the boston harbor
King George III borrowed money from other countries to pay for the Seven Years' War and he needed a way to pay it back, so Prime Minister George Grenville asked Parliament to tax the colonists!

His goal was to have the colonists pay for the war that they had just had with the Indians. The war I am referring to is the French and Indian War (1756-1763). It was rather costly, and the King decided that the colonists should pay. He created several laws & taxes, & one of them was the Stamp Act. He believed this was a good way to get out of debt, but the colonists thought it unfair, as they didn't have anyone representing them in Parliament, where they approve taxes/laws.

It had a financial affect on the colonists. Most colonists couldn't afford to pay the taxes.
