Summary/Abstract: The paper provides an overview of the selected aspects of the fiscal law of the Ottoman Empire between 1839 and 1876. In particular, the emphasis is placed on examining the evolution of state taxes in the context of the system as well as the institutions of the state budget, which were based on the rules of Sharia law in the early stages of the Ottoman statehood, while a general tendency towards their westernization was noticeable from 1839 onwards.
