Incan taxation and record keeping were sophisticated and well maintained because they followed general rules for taxation. Every single village of the highlands and the plains always used to pay the tribute levied on them within time. Even there were provinces for natives who were unable to pay tribute. They were asked to provide a large quill, full of live lice at the interval of every four months. It was one of the ways introduced by the Incas for paying tribute. There was a general assembly for the principal men of the kingdom and then he used to affectionate them with affectionate words.
