Appalt

The appalt was the lease of state sources of income, legal monopolies , domains , regalia and indirect taxes of all kinds in Habsburg Austria of the baroque age . The appalt is therefore a term closely linked to the financial policy of mercantilism . If such a lease was leased further, it was called the afterappalt.

The word is of Italian origin, where appalto means 'contract', ' tendering ', 'concession'.
