Abstract
El presente artıulo analiza la relacioón entre la fiscalidad y los precios en la Castilla del siglo XVII a través de un estudio de la influencia de los impuestos reales y municipales sobre el precio del litro de vino ordinario en Madrid entre 1606 y 1700. El primer apartado presenta los diversos tributos reales y municipales cobrados sobre el vino en Madrid, y demuestra que este
producto fue el que más ingresos fiscales aportó tanto a la Hacienda Real como a la municipal. La segunda parte estudia el modo en que las autoridades estimaban el valor de los impuestos monetarios y en especie cobrados recaudados sobre este producto. El tercer apartado muestra que el peso de los
impuestos municipales y reales cobrados sobre el litro de vino creció a lo largo del período. Si hacia 1606-10 estos impuestos representaban el 30 por cien del precio de venta del vino, en el último tercio del siglo este porcentaje creció hasta el del 60-65 por cien.
This article deals with the relations between taxation and prices levels in seventeenth century Castile through an analysis of the influence of royal and municipal taxes on the retail prices of cheap wine in Madrid between 1606 and 1700. First part describes the taxes levied on cheap wine by the Castilian Crown and the town council in Madrid. Both kinds of taxes provided the Royal and the City Treasuries with the most important part of their tax revenues. Second part analyzes how the Royal and the city authorities estimated the monetary value of the taxes and excises levied on this beverage. Lastly, third part shows that the burden of the royal and municipal taxes levied on a litre of cheap wine rose during the period. If in 1606-10 both types of taxes amounted to around 30 per cent of the retail prices of a litre of cheap wine, in the last third of the century this percentage had risen to 60-65 per cent.
