Chapter 1Excise Taxation in Context

Coffman, D’Maris

Pages: 1 –23

[Conventional accounts of the origins of the British fiscal state have an aversion to exploring in detail the advent of markets for debt securities. Most historians agree that in the British Isles the transition from a late medieval demesne-state to a tax state occurred in the seventeenth...

Chapter 2The Introduction of the Excises

Coffman, D’Maris

Pages: 25 –54

[The most remarkable feature of the English excises is the speed with which excise taxation became a permanent part of the revenue. Exploring the political negotiations that led to the imposition of the excises in July 1643 helps to explain why this outcome is so surprising. By employing...

Chapter 3The Excises under the Long Parliament, 1647–1648

Coffman, D’Maris

Pages: 55 –78

[The excise ordinances of the 1640s had been used to secure ever-increasing amounts of short-term debt. The original commissioners of the excise, who were servants of the state, had been hired for their willingness to make loans to the government in advance of receipts. When they proved unable to...

Chapter 4The Commonwealth Excise, 1649–1653

Coffman, D’Maris

Pages: 79 –107

[Investigations into the institutional culture of the Commonwealth excise commission reveal that the basic administrative structure was in place by 1650. Redactions of the detailed minutes of the parliamentary Committee for Regulating and Improving the Excise demonstrate the regime’s commitment...

Chapter 5The Case of the Soap Boilers

Coffman, D’Maris

Pages: 109 –127

[Despite the conceptual similarities between the royal imposts of the 1630s and the industrial excises of the 1640s and 1650s, these fiscal exactions receive separate treatment in the scholarly literature. The ‘Soap Makers Complaint’ of 1650 offers an opportunity to view disputes about the excise...

Chapter 6The Protectorate Excise, 1654–1659

Coffman, D’Maris

Pages: 129 –156

[As the great Cromwellian scholar Maurice Ashley observed almost eighty years ago, Oliver Cromwell had an essentially Elizabethan vision of government finance (Ashley, 1934, pp. 1–3). Cromwell abhorred reliance upon established London financial interests. In re-establishing the ancient Exchequer...

Chapter 7The Restoration Excise, 1660–1663

Coffman, D’Maris

Pages: 157 –182

[The Restoration of Charles II in 1660 did not mark the end of the mid-century experience with fiscal experimentation. Almost all of the surviving records of the Interregnum excise regime come from the investigations of the lord treasurer after the Restoration. The Treasury, assisted by Elias...

Chapter 8The Political Economy of Taxation

Coffman, D’Maris

Pages: 183 –199

[When Parliament resorted to excise taxation during the Civil Wars, they had intended it as a temporary expedient for financing what they understood as the extraordinary expenses of funding the war against the king. Permanent settlement of the excise was unthinkable. Yet amidst common law...

Chapter 9Looking Forward

Coffman, D’Maris

Pages: 201 –212

[The British state, in a historical and ideological sense, evolved out of the need to develop a political language that abstracted sovereign power so that it was not dependent on a particular type of rule. Once established as a discursive category the state was taken to be transcendental. In a...
