The revenue of the Chola Kingdom came from taxes ashore and farming tax as well as from trade. A part of the revenue was unbroken for the king and therefore the rest was used for other purposes such as making structure. The inscriptions of the Cholas dominated in Tamil Nadu revealed quite four hundred terms for various forms of taxes. The foremost tax which was inscribed is vetti, taken not in terms of monetary value, however within the sort of forced labor, and kadamai or land revenue. There have been additional taxes on thatching the house, even for the utilization of a ladder to climb trees and use it for other purposes, and also in cues on succession to family property, etc. Land revenue and trade tax were the most demanded form of taxes. The Chola rulers issued their coins in gold, silver, and copper which showed their vision and power in the economic sphere of rulership.
