Abstract
TAX NAMES MENTIONED IN THE DECREESOF TURKISTAN KHANATES
Following the death of Emir Timur, no political unity was established among the Turkistan Turks. To this end, the Baburs and Uzbek Sibanis struggledfor power. However, the struggles for this cause also remained inconclusive, leading to the establishment of theKhanate of Bukhara (1599-1685), Khanate of Khiva (1704-1920) and Khanate of Kohand (1710-1876), which were called as the Turkistan khanates. Many institutes in these khanateswere inherited to them from the Turkish states that had been established in the region long before their time. One of the institutes they inherited from the Salafi Turkish states was the financial organization. It is seen that the essence of the financial organization of the Turkistan khanates was taxes. Accordingly,they collected various taxes from agricultural products of farmers, herd owners, merchants and traders taking long journeys, people selling and buying in market places, all kinds of goods entering or transiting through territoriesunder the administration of khanates and from people in case of emergency.
