Which one of the following is not true for Mahajanapadas regarding the collection of regular taxes ?
Answer: C
The statement that is not true is Usually tax on crops was fixed at ½ (half) of what was produced.
In the mahajanapadas, the tax on crops was usually fixed at one-sixth of what was produced. This was known as bhaga, or a share. Half the produce would have been far heavier than the usual rate.
The other statements are true. Craftspersons paid taxes in the form of labour, herders paid in animals and animal produce, there were taxes on goods bought and sold through trade, and hunters and gatherers also had to provide forest produce to the raja.
