The basic difference is for whose benefit the Tax went to.

During the British revolution, the Tax that being paid went to the Federal budget of the British Government in order to fund their wars.

On the other hand, if the civilians do not pay the taxes for their own taxes, they pretty much do not contribute to the infrastructure development of their own nation.
