Auditor Redondo Villegas had gone too far. In 1604 the crown repeated the presidio’s 1593 exemption with clarifications for his benefit: “Because they are needy and prices are high and their salaries are small I order that they not pay taxes of almorifazgo in those provinces even when it is a contract with some private person, and this goes for what may be loaded in Seville also, or in another part of these kingdoms, on the situado account.” [Note 62: Cedula to the royal officials 9/18/1604] AN88 In other words, goods charged against the situado were not to have export duties levied on them at the point of origin, or import duties in Florida. The royal exchequer was not so distinct from the presidio that one should tax the other. (Bushnell KC)
