Abstract: The general tendency in most developing countries is to throw a disproportionate share of the burden of taxation on the 'monetised' or market sector and an insufficient amount on agriculture. The reasons for this are partly administrative and-partly political. Taxes levied on the agricultural community are far more difficult to assess and collect and are socially and politically unpopular because they appear unjust - the people in the agriculture sector are, individually, always so much poorer than the people in the market sector.
