Almojarifazgo

Almojarifazgo refers to a historical system of tax collection or state revenue management used in various regions, particularly in medieval Islamic societies and some Spanish territories. It involved government officials, known as "almojarifes," who were responsible for overseeing the collection of taxes, customs duties, and other financial obligations. This system played a crucial role in maintaining the economy and funding public services. Almojarifazgo is notable for its administrative structure, which aimed to ensure efficient revenue collection while also managing trade and commerce in the regions where it was implemented.
