Taxation in the Ottoman Empire
Taxes
Implementation

The resm-i hınzır ("Pig tax") was a tax on pigs in the Ottoman empire.

Although pork was theoretically banned in the Ottoman empire, "some trade continued - alongside trade in alcohol." One fatwa specifically claimed the resm-i hınzır (along with the resm-i arusane, a bride tax) should end; but the trade. And the tax on it, continued regardless - occasionally disguised as "gifts".
