Abstract

The topic that is presented has been developed by numerous researchers from different perspectives and focused on certain revenues that were part of the resources collected by the Royal Treasury, such as general revenues, tobacco and the contribution of the ships of the Indies in the mercantile traffic between the Metropolis and the West Indies. All these incomes are well known by Sergio Solbes, analyzed from the perspective of Economic History and in particular, the fiscal aspects, focused on income, expenses and government institutions, referring to the territory of the Canary Islands in the 17th century. These issues constitute one of his lines of research that he has been developing for several decades, with excellent results that have been reflected in various works.
