Because of the French and Indian War
After the French and Indian War (1754-1763), Britain had accumulated a massive debt. In order to offset this debt, Britain decided to tax the colonies, stating that the colonies owed them money for their protection during the wars.
The Treaty of Paris in 1763 ended the Seven Years war and created peace between Spain, Britain and France.
e British Government had borrowed heavily from British and Dutch bankers to finance the war, and as a consequence the national debt almost doubled from £75 million in 1754 to £133 million in 1763 http://www.tax.org/Museum/1756-1776.htm

In 1763, following the conclusion of the Seven Years' War, England's national debt significantly increased due to the costs of the conflict. The debt rose to around £133 million, which was a substantial burden for the government. This financial strain led to increased taxation and contributed to growing tensions with the American colonies, as Britain sought to raise revenue from them to help manage the debt. Ultimately, these tensions would play a role in the events leading to the American Revolution.
