WebHearth tax records list the people who were liable for tax on hearths (including kilns) in Scotland at that time. They provide clues about the size of each building, place, estate, or parish in the late 17th century. Heads of households of each building were liable for a tax of 14 shillings, and only hospitals and the poor were exempt. In the Byzantine Empire a tax on hearths, known as kapnikon, was first explicitly mentioned for the reign of Nicephorus I (802–811), although its context implies that it was already then old and established and perhaps it should be taken back to the 7th century AD. Kapnikon was a tax levied on households without exceptions for the poor. bowknot textured high cut one piece swimsuit
