In this regard, the main question of the present article is, what was the type of Kerman statesmen approach towards finance and taxes collection and what were the resources of taxes of Kerman Qara-Khitai based on? The findings of the research indicate that the resources of taxes in the Qara-khitai period included receiving different types of taxes from different areas of the Kerman area as well as receiving taxes from the surrounding area, which were done in two direct and indirect ways. So that in the direct method of the system taxes used to collected various taxes from the people by sending tax collectors and deposited the collected taxes to the treasury of the Grand Divan, and in the indirect method, the government without directly contact with the people and send tax collectors to collect taxes.
