| Summary: | This capitulary document, dated 10 January 1686, records an assembly held in God of Macau, China, to determine tax collection methods for the city. It details the allocation of ten percent from gross revenues, five percent from fine goods, and two percent from weighed goods like coral and camphor. Additionally, one percent is allocated for the Holy Mercy, Religious Sisters of Saint Clare, and the King of Siam, while seven percent covers city expenses. The document specifies exemptions for revenues intended for marae foundations and confraternity expenses. Signed by various officials and people, including Francisco Nunes de Carvalho, Manoel Aguiar Pereira, and Jose da Cunha de Eça, it provides insight into colonial economic practices and local governance in 17th-century Macau. |
