Since the Jewish community was often required to make monetary contributions to the state as a whole, this meant that if single Jews were unable to make contribution of their own, others in their community had to make up for it.

8. Notes	Editor Present-day Austria, Czech Republic Researcher *This special taxation of Jews was established for the “etrog” – a specific kind of citron – used by Jews during the week-long holiday of Sukkot. A businessman by the name of David Heinrich Lehmann had originally suggested this tax to Charles “Karl” VI in 1739; and although Lehmann’s proposal was initially ignored, it was later picked up by Maria Theresa. The Jewry prepared a comprehensive appeal as to why it was impossible for them to submit such a large amount, which they submitted to the Royal Office in Brünn on April 9, 1745. This appeal received a quick and brief response: “One is unable to reconsider your appeal and this due/quota is to be submitted as soon as possible.”

Those few Jews who came here without money, without capital, without credit, and not with any other quality, or talent for business other than their accustomed greed in enriching themselves by way of extraordinary instances of usury, and other illegitimate means, succeeded in becoming a strong obstacle to the growth of commerce, and an inconvenience, a burden and a scandal to our People. The experience of all this which we have had in the course of six years unbinds us from the obligation of every gracious promise... Their despicable behavior has always been the root of the instability of their fortune...a Nation that, too persistent in their superstitions, cannot long coexist without prejudice to human Society...A prudent council then requiring an apportioning of the provisions to the situation, in consideration of the notorious drawbacks derived from the pernicious residence of Jews to commerce, to the good order, to our most holy Religion, and to the peace and edification of the Citizens, we revoke and annul all the graces and privileges, immunities, and exemptions accorded to the Jewish Nation, ordering every and all Jews to leave our Kingdom in the space of nine months.
