Thirdly, the number of expenditures entries in salyane registers, the categories being formed by expenditures entries in selected salyane registers from the period of 1771-1840 have been evaluated in detail. Fourthly, it has been given information on totals for salyane taxes, collecting procedures of these taxes, and persons who received salyane taxes. Fifthly, the misuses in the distribution system of salyane taxes and the regulations being made during the studied period, and some measures Mahmud II took to improve the system in the period of 1826-1839 have been taken up. Finally, it has been given information on that the lawful impositions being collected by means of salyane registers were abolished with the Tanzimat edict of 3 December 1839, and, instead of them, the single tax called "an-cemâ'atin vergi" was put in practise.
