Tolerance tax

Tolerance tax or toleration tax (Latin: taxa tolerantialis; German: Toleranzgebührer; Hungarian: türelmi adó) was a tax that was levied against Jews of the Kingdom of Hungary, then part of the Austrian Empire, between 1747 and 1797.

The tax was based on the German statute that a Jew was obliged to pay a certain tax to be tolerated, i.e., not expelled.
