A poll tax is a tax on what?

Depends. In the UK, a poll tax is a tax that affected everyone equally, regardless of wealth or property. Such taxes have existed previously in historical times. More famously, Margaret Thatcher's introduction of the Community Charge in 1990 (a flat-out tax rate to fund local government) was dubbed the "poll tax". It proved widely unpopular, caused protests and riots and eventually led to her downfall. In the US, a poll tax is a tax people are required to pay in order for them to be able to vote. Most ex-Confederate states introduced this tax during the Reconstruction to deliberately stop Black people from being able to vote, since they were generally too poor to pay it. They also added loopholes so that poor White people could still register. The poll tax was abolished nationwide by the 24th Amendment in 1964.
