Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The iltizam system was a form of tax farming used by the Ottoman Empire where individuals or groups were granted the right to collect taxes from a certain area in exchange for a fixed annual payment to the state. This system benefited members of the ulama (Islamic scholars) and Mamluks (military elite) who often received these tax farming rights as a reward or as part of their income. Individual tax farmers also benefited as they could retain any amount collected over the fixed payment they owed to the state, thus incentivizing them to maximize tax collection.
