The taxation to the colonists. Britain said that they could do that because they were in charge of everything that happened in their territory. The colonists said that they could not be taxed because there was no representation in Britain's Parliament.

Colonists disagreed with great Britain on how to pay for this?

Colonists disagreed with Great Britain on how to pay for the expenses incurred during the French and Indian War and the ongoing costs of protecting the American frontier.

However, colonists argued that they should not be taxed without representation in Parliament, leading to tensions that fueled the desire for independence. This fundamental disagreement over taxation and governance became a key issue in the lead-up to the American Revolution.

The tension between the colonists and Great Britain can largely be attributed to Britain's imposition of taxes and regulations without colonial representation, which fueled feelings of resentment and injustice among the colonists. Additionally, Britain's attempts to exert greater control over colonial governance and trade further alienated the colonists. While both sides contributed to the escalating conflict, Britain's policies played a more significant role in igniting colonial dissent and ultimately leading to revolution.

Was the most important reason that conflict developed between Britain and the American colonists between 1763 and 1774?

Due to the great distance between the colonies and Britain it was hard for Britain to enforce control over the colonists. The colonists got used to essentially governing themselves, so when British rule was more strictly imposed after the 7 Years War (Taxes imposed on the colonists were to try and alleviate the war debt, but led to "No taxation without representation!") the colonists rebelled.
