摘要：从明代国家总税收及商税来看，它是轻税，但是从农业税及农民本身来看是重税。由于国家的税收结构没有随着经济结构的转变而调整，导致国家财政过分依赖农业，而对发展迅速地商业课以轻税，形成税收不公，不仅农民苦不堪言，国家财政总收入也持续下降，导致国家运转不善，对内缺乏管理，激起民变，对外缺乏军费，难以御敌。最终使帝国轰然坍塌。

明代税收到底是重是轻，其实都对，只是看的角度不同，从国家总税收及商税来看，它是轻税，但是从农业税及农民本身来看是重税。总之由于国家的税收结构没有随着经济结构的转变而调整，导致国家财政过分依赖农业，而对发展迅速地商业课以轻税，形成税收不公，不仅农民苦不堪言，国家财政总收入也持续下降，导致国家机器运转不善，对内缺乏管理，激起民变，对外缺乏军费，难以御敌。最终使帝国轰然坍塌。
