PARLIAMENT
Tax instruments may be defined as the system on how countries or and nationalities set taxes for better control and flow of the taxes they impose.
As long as the agency imposing the tax chooses to make it last and has the authority to impose such a tax.
The power to levy taxes is considered executive and can therefore be handled by an institution under the executive arm of the government. Governments get a large amount of income from taxes.
Taxes were set by individual colonies. There wasn't officially a national income tax until 1913 with the Sixteenth Amendment to the Constitution. However in order to fund the Civil War there was a 3% flat tax on income above $800(about 20,000 adjusted for inflation) called the Revenue Act of 1861.

Parliament, under Prime Minister George Grenville, asserted that it had the power to impose taxes on British colonies based on the principle that the colonies were subject to British law and governance. Grenville argued that since the colonies benefited from British protection and military support, they should contribute to the costs of their defense and administration. This justification was rooted in the belief that all subjects of the British Empire, regardless of location, were obligated to pay taxes to the Parliament. Additionally, Grenville maintained that the taxes were necessary to help alleviate Britain's debt following the French and Indian War.

Parliament has the power to impose taxes on British colonies primarily because they are considered subjects of the British Crown and are governed under British law. The principle of "virtual representation" was asserted, arguing that the colonies were represented in Parliament, even if they did not have direct representatives. This taxation authority was also rooted in the need to fund British military protection and administration in the colonies. Ultimately, the belief in parliamentary sovereignty meant that Parliament held the right to legislate and tax for the entire empire.

Individual states in the United States are not able to impose their own tariffs, in the conventional sense of taxes on imports or exports. That power is reserved by the Contitution to the Federal government.However, individual states can impose other taxes, such as sales taxes, and some people might also call those tariffs, simply because they are taxes.
