Detailed Solution

Taille was a direct tax. It was paid to the state directly in France. Each household was subjected to taille based on how much land it owned. The Third Estate had to pay taxes to the government. These included indirect taxes imposed on common 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 sustain state functions.
