摘要:During the last months of the Pezuela government, the political and economic crisis of the Viceroyalty of Peru was aggravated by the disembarkation of San Martín, who brought the war to Lima. During the Proclamation of Aznapuquito, the higher ranks of the military showed their discontent with the assignation of the command to José de la Serna. In compliance with the rules of liberalism, the new commissioner tried to introduce fiscal reforms to face the administration’s expenditure and the cost of war. This investigation analyses the hitherto unpublished general tax register of Lima, which was a unique attempt to modernize the fiscal system by introducing a personal and progressive income tax.
