Why did the Parliament keep the tax on the tea act?
The British East Indian Company was in big trouble financially. All they had left worth anything was a lot of tea they wanted to unload in America. Americans could not buy tea except from Britain and British companies. So they forced the tea on American colonies. Tax was very miniscule but Britain wanted to show that the Colonies were still subject to the rule of Parliment. So the tax was placed on tea. Tea was cheap and tax neglible. However the principle of the tax made radical Colonists angry.

Parliament had the right to tax the colonist without their consent?
Yes. The colonies were British subjects and therefore were under the rule of the king. The tax rate for the colonies was less than for the people living in Britain. The legendary story about the Boston Tea Party is about the tea tax, but in reality the tax was lowered and not raised. The problem rose with the tax when the smugglers' of Dutch tea was higher than the British tea. This was business. The population of the colonies really were not concerned about taxes.
