In the pre-colonial Hausa-Fulani fiscal administration, tax revenue flowed through a distinct administrative hierarchy from local taxpayers to the central emirate government. How were these administrative steps arranged from the initial local collection to final treasury accounting?
- 1Assessment and direct collection of community taxes from local taxpayers by the Dagaci (Village Head)
- 2Compilation and supervisory aggregation of district tax revenues by the Hakimi (District Head)
- 3Transmission and official custody of collected funds at the central treasury under the Ma'aji (Treasurer)
- 4Final executive review and allocation of state funds under the supreme authority of the Emir
Cevap
The correct order from initial local collection to central treasury accounting is: (1) Assessment and direct collection of community taxes from local taxpayers by the Dagaci (Village Head), (2) Compilation and supervisory aggregation of district tax revenues by the Hakimi (District Head), (3) Transmission and official custody of collected funds at the central treasury under the Ma'aji (Treasurer), and (4) Final executive review and allocation of state funds under the supreme authority of the Emir.
Tax administration in the pre-colonial Hausa-Fulani system followed a centralized structure. It started with direct local assessment by the Dagaci (Village Head), proceeded to compilation by the Hakimi (District Head), moved to custody at the central treasury by the Ma'aji (Treasurer), and culminated in supreme executive authorization by the Emir.
