In the ruling period of the Ilkhans a complex and multi-layered fiscal system was formed. Since the end of the 13th century, in parallel with the weakening of the central power, corruption and arbitrariness of the state officials had developed in the Ilkhanate, as a result of which the tax system turned into a real oppression. Approximately 30 types of taxes and duties were imposed on the subject peoples, nevertheless, even after this it was difficult to replenish the state treasury, inasmuch as generally the collected taxes were robbed by the officials themselves.
