Although not an example of a LONDON Poor Law Tax Assessment, I have transcribed an example of a Poor Law Tax Assessment for 1618 for my own local area: http://members.aol.com/gayjoliver/PoorLaw1618Part1.htm In addition to this, by the late 18th Century people were also paying Land Tax and a Highways Maintenance Tax.
