From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Taxes
      first mentioned in the command (Ex. 30:11-16) that every Jew
      from twenty years and upward should pay an annual tax of "half a
      shekel for an offering to the Lord." This enactment was
      faithfully observed for many generations (2 Chr. 24:6; Matt.
      17:24).
     
         Afterwards, when the people had kings to reign over them, they
      began, as Samuel had warned them (1 Sam. 8:10-18), to pay taxes
      for civil purposes (1 Kings 4:7; 9:15; 12:4). Such taxes, in
      increased amount, were afterwards paid to the foreign princes
      that ruled over them.
     
         In the New Testament the payment of taxes, imposed by lawful
      rulers, is enjoined as a duty (Rom. 13:1-7; 1 Pet. 2:13, 14).
      Mention is made of the tax (telos) on merchandise and travellers
      (Matt. 17:25); the annual tax (phoros) on property (Luke 20:22;
      23:2); the poll-tax (kensos, "tribute," Matt. 17:25; 22:17; Mark
      12:14); and the temple-tax ("tribute money" = two drachmas =
      half shekel, Matt. 17:24-27; comp. Ex. 30:13). (See {TRIBUTE}.)
