Do you pay Taxes in Hyrule?

[Daku Rinku]

Is there a tax? Like does The Kingdom of Hyrule collect it a la Roman style or is there a sale’s tax?

Maybe The Gerudo thieve to pay taxes.

 

[Goddess Athenaeum]

Oh I would say so. I don't think they built that castle off of charity, not to mention the armor and weapons. It's true we could chalk a lot of that up to magic in a world like this, but I definitely see the Royal Family collecting taxes.

Just send all the Knights of Hyrule to go cut some grass. More than enough dough laying around.

 

[TheGreatCthulhu]

I imagine it would be based on land ownership, and mostly property taxes.

 

[Goddess Athenaeum]

I'm kind of just diving into head canon at this point (as we all like to do) but it's interesting to think that by "uniting the kingdom" the Royal Family was able to tax the other groups as well.

And maybe that justifies Ganondorf’s rebellion in Wind Waker. That his people have suffered.

What huge taxes

What huge taxes

Yep, taxation has caused many rebellions. Ask Robin Hood, whom Link shares some similarities to.

As to the question of whether or not I pay taxes in Hyrule, why yes I do Hyrule tax assessor!

 

[GrooseIsLoose]

The existence of rupees itself is an indication of existence of tax. If there wasn't a centralized currency, we can assume that each region was autonomous and uses valuable materials in that region like topaz, ruby etc as currency.

That is a good point. Rupees is common currency which makes taxation easier.

Be neat if Rito did pay off some people’s taxes in acts of charity.

Or people react like the father when the postmen tried to deliver the mail to maggie. "GET LOST! NO TAXES YOU FOOL!"
