The document is titled Regie De L’Enregistrement Et Du Domaine National – National Registry and subtitled Fixation et Distribution de la Remise Generale de l'an IX - Determination and Distribution of the Year IX General Rebate. The French Revolution completely upended the French taxation system. The French revolutionary government took control of the right to impose taxes and established an entire new system. That system included taxation levels and an entire system of rebates. This piece documents the rebates that will be paid out to various ‘classes’ or groups of citizens. For a finance or accounting professional, this would make a truly beautiful piece to hand on an office wall.
