This information comes from National Archives E179 Series. This class of records known as "King's Remembrancer, particulars of accounts and other records relating to lay and clerical taxation," or, more conveniently, by the series E179.

There seems to be two scales of charges, one for the ordinary inhabitant and below that a list of higher status people.
