The British Prime Minister who established taxes in the American colonies to raise revenues after the Seven Years' War was George Grenville.

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.
Section 91(3) of the Constitution Act, 1867 grants to the Parliament of Canada vast authority to levy taxes through any method. The passage of the Act, and the collection of taxes, were set up before the appointment of a post-Confederation prime minister. Section 92(2) of the Act grants more narrow taxation powers to the provinces, authorizing direct taxes (such as levying their own provincial sales taxes).Perhaps the most notable creation of a federal tax is the controversial enactment of the Goods and Services Tax (the GST) by the Right Honourable Brian Mulroney, P.C., then the 18th prime minister. The sales tax is charged on all provinces, and in five provinces, is blended with the provincial sales tax.
The Stamp Act was passed by the British POarliament which imposed direct taxes on the American colonists on 22 March, 1765.
