The Marriage Duty Act 1695, also known as the Registration Tax, was a 1695 Act of the Parliament of England which imposed a tax on births, marriages, burials, childless widowers, and bachelors over the age of 25. It was primarily used as a revenue raising mechanism for war on France and as a means of ensuring that proper records were kept by Anglican church officials. The tax was found ineffective and abolished by 1706.
