The Parlement of Paris refused to ratify Calonne's reform program in 1787; he was dismissed on 8 April 1787 after proposing a land tax.
In 1787 the Parlement of Paris refused to ratify Charles Alexandre de Calonne's program of financial reform, due to the competing interests of its noble members. Calonne received little cooperation from the assembly and was dismissed on 8 April 1787, banished shortly after for proposing a 'Subvention Territoriale', or land tax. His successor Loménie forwarded the Subvention Territoriale and a 'stamp act' modeled on the British for registration on 6 July 1787.
