The Office of Quaestors is responsible for collecting taxes, and is divided into three types of Quaestores, representing national, provincial, and local tax jurisdictions. The Office of Quaestors has more autonomy and flexibility in terms of how they collect taxes and can adapt to the specific needs of their jurisdictions, such as different collection methods for different social classes. The CTS reviews the Office of Quaestors' activities and the taxes they have collected to ensure consistency and compliance with tax laws. | |||
