In older documents also Schoss and Prästanda (due, charge, levy, contribution, impost; drawing; sales)
Generally used today to refer to all imposts (as obligatory monetary payments; imposts, duties) that are incurred as payments in some form or another and on various occasions. – Generic term for all monetary payments that the state imposes on private households and companies on the basis of its financial sovereignty. – As a rule, levies are divided into fees, contributions, taxes and customs duties; however, other classifications are also common. – In old documents also the delivery of a certain amount of products (of agriculture and forestry), such as the tithe, usually in the context of a Fronverhältnis (soccage relation). Here, a peasant (liege man, villein) received land, protection and often also the assurance of subsistence in times of need from a lord of the manor. In return, the serf had to deliver fixed quantities of goods (such as grain, wood, honey, cloth) to the lord of the manor (Fron = lord) as well as services, especially manual labor (unpaid draught animal [donkey, steer, horse] and cart work). – In older documents also the routing, namely to draw a bill on an address. – In financial language, also the sale of securities on the stock exchange. – See Abgabedruck, Auflagen, Beitrag, Cerozensual, Charadsch, Dammgeld, Dammzoll, Detz, Erlösung, Fiskalquote, Frongeld, Gebühren, Gefälle, Hammelgeld, Harai, Hufengeld, Impost, Kalbgeld, Loskaufgeld, Maut, Naturalabgabe, Prästanda, Ranzion, Roggengeld, Schatzung, Steuerlastquote, Steuervergünstigung, Umlage, Urbarium, Zins, Zinsknechtschaft, Tribut. – Cf.
