Özet:

 The objective of this study is to reveal the governmental policy toward tax deduction demands in the Ottoman Empire during the reign of Mehmed IV. For this purpose, the study examines some relevant petitions, arzs submissions, and financial records found in the Ottoman Archive. Applicants were found to request discounts on the grounds of poverty, depopulation, scarcity, expensiveness, and faulty registration. The government made decisions regarding incoming applications by examining financial records, conducting on-site inspections of the issues raised in the applications, or using the new tahrir census. The study found that, with a few exceptions, almost all requests for deductions were granted in full or in part. Some deductions were understood to have been provided by charging the amount of the requested reduction to others.

 Bu çalışmanın amacı, IV. Mehmed döneminde Osmanlıda vergi indirim taleplerine karşı merkezin politikasını açığa çıkartmaktır. Bu maksatla Osmanlı Arşivindeki konuyla ilgili dilekçeler, arzlar ve bazı mali kayıtlar incelenmiştir. Başvuru sahiplerinin fakirlik, nüfusun azalması, kıtlık, pahalılık ve hatalı kayıt gibi gerekçeler öne sürerek indirim talebinde bulunduğu anlaşılmaktadır. Merkez, gelen başvurular hakkında mali kayıtları inceleyerek, başvurularda belirtilen hususları yerinde teftiş ettirerek ya da yeni tahrirler yaptırarak karar vermiştir. Çalışmada birkaç istisna dışında neredeyse tüm indirim taleplerinin tam ya da kısmen kabul edildiği tespit edilmiştir. İndirimlerin bir kısmının ise talep edilen indirim miktarının başkalarının üzerine yüklenmesi suretiyle gerçekleştirildiği anlaşılmaktadır.
