fifteenth

fifteenth. Hist. A tax of one-fifteenth of all the personal property of every subject. • The tax was levied at intervals by act of Parliament. Under Edward III, the value of the fifteenth was assessed and fixed at a specific sum and did not increase as the wealth of the kingdom increased — thus the tax ceased to actually be one-fifteenth.
