William the Conqueror began taxation in England after his victory at The Battle of Hastings in 1066. To consolidate his power and fund his rule, he commissioned the Domesday Book in 1086, a comprehensive survey of landholdings and resources. This allowed him to assess the wealth of the kingdom accurately and implement a more organized system of taxation, ensuring that taxes were based on actual land and resources owned by the populace. This marked a significant shift in the administration and fiscal policy of England.
