The hut tax was a form of taxation introduced by British in their African possessions on a "per hut" (or other forms of household) basis. It was variously payable in money, labour, grain or stock and benefited the colonial authorities in four interconnected ways, by raising money; supporting the economic value of the local currency; broadening the newly introduced cash-based economy, which aided economic development; and integrating local communities into the new economic system. Households which had primarily been rural ranchers or farmers proceeded to send members to work in the cities or on colonial government-sponsored construction projects to earn money to pay the tax. The new colonial economies in Africa were primarily reliant upon the construction of towns and infrastructure (such a

  • La hut tax (littéralement « taxe à la case », en langage moderne « taxe d'habitation ») était un impôt instauré par les autorités coloniales britanniques en Afrique, s'appliquant par habitation ou par ménage. Il pouvait être payé en unités monétaires (en argent), en travail, en produits agricoles ou en têtes de bétail. Cela profitait aux autorités coloniales en soutenant la monnaie, en développant l'économie monétaire et permettait de forcer les Africains à travailler au bénéfice de l'économie coloniale. Les ménages dont la richesse reposait sur la possession de têtes de bétail étaient obligés de travailler pour les colons afin de se procurer de l'argent permettant de payer les impôts. L'économie coloniale reposait sur le travail des Africains pour construire les villes et les chemins de fer, travailler dans les plantations et, notamment en Afrique australe, pour exploiter les mines.
