neutral  Francis Lee (X): "imperial tax" sounds like a tax that applied to e.g. colonies

  -> Thanks Francis, I wrote that BEFORE asker's explanation and then posted my second proposal. If Reichssteuer applies to the 1st and 2nd German Reich, then it's imperial tax according to many sites on google introduced in the 14th century

It is definitely wealth tax. Read the article at the provided link and it will all make sense. It's tax payable for a specific amount of wealth.

agree  writeaway: you got the right "Reich" as it turns out. in which case yes. you misunderstood my point above-I was pointing out that the suggested answer above would fit IF the term was ReichENsteur.

  -> Thanks for your agree, but I'm not sure I understand your comment (bear with me, it's Monday morning). ;-) I was sure it was about the Reich and not about rich people because I had answered kkd's next question (Reichsfinanzhof) two minutes earlier.
agree  BrigitteHilgner: Kudoz sollte einmal eine Schulung anbieten, wie man richtig Fragen stellt. Warum verstehen die Leute nicht, dass die ganze Raterei ihnen nichts nutzt?
36 mins
  -> Wenn man "editing rights" haben möchte, muss man eine kleine Prüfung ablegen. Dasselbe wäre sicherlich sinnvoll, wenn man als "newbie" die ersten Fragen in KudoZ stellt. Ich glaube, irgend jemand hat es in einem Forumfaden sogar mal angeregt.
agree  RobinB: The term itself isn't included in "antique" dictionaries I have, such as the 1922 De-En Wörterbuch der Handelssprache (Eitzen) or the 1955 2nd edition of Gunston & Corner, but that's hardly surprising for what's basically a general language term!
