Detailed explanation-1: -Because the Inca had no money, taxes were usually paid in food or in commodities. Agricultural land and herds were divided into three parts. 1/3 of a farmer or herder’s production went directly to support the state religion and the gods. Another 1/3 was reserved for the Inca ruler.
Detailed explanation-2: -They believed that nature, man and the Pachamama (Mother Earth), lived in harmony and perpetual interrelation. The Inca state promoted the worship of a creator god (Wiracocha), the sun god (Inti), the Moon Goddess (Mamaquilla), the thunder god (Illapa), the earth monther (Pacha Mama), and a host of other supernaturals.
Detailed explanation-3: -The secret of the Inca’s great wealth may have been their unusual tax system. Instead of paying taxes in money, every Incan was required to provide labor to the state. In exchange for this labor, they were given the necessities of life.
Detailed explanation-4: -Incas had 3 commandments: don’t steal. don’t lie. don’t be lazy.
