]]> The provincial rentas provinciales of the hull of the city of León were a type of rentas ordinarias; taxes levied on a permanent basis on a regular basis. This means that the provincial rentas were an aggregate of previously independent rentas, such as alcabalas, tercias, millones and cientos. In the case of León, in 1757, the author computes a total collection of 491,886 reales. What was the basis for this revenue? Most of it, 47.5%, was basic foodstuffs of modern society: meat, wine and brandy. Within meat, the most heavily taxed was pork, which was the most popularly consumed. On the other hand, beef, demanded by the wealthier social groups, was more protected from taxation. By individual products, wine was the most heavily taxed, with up to 33.3% of the revenue coming from the fluid product; a sum of 163,456 reais. Other events, such as fairs and markets, also provided a large part of the revenue with 116,844 reales, or 23.8% of the total.
