The above statement is False.
The nobles enjoyed feudal privileges. They also demanded payments from the peasants known as feudal dues. Peasants were required to perform services for the lord, including work in his fields and household, military duty, or road construction. All members of the third estate were ultimately required to pay taxes to the government. The Church also levied a tax on the peasants known as tithes. These included indirect taxes imposed on household items like salt and tobacco, as well as a direct tax known as taille. The third estate was the only one that had to bear the cost of taxing citizens to fund state operations.
