Taxes were placed on almost anything resource or supply that did not come from Britain. When the colonies wanted to trade with other countries Britain made sure to charge a tax so it might make them trade back with Britain as it would be cheaper. This simply infringed on what they believed in.

One of the themes that helped create a revolutionary movement against Great Britain among her American colonies concerned taxes. Parliament passed tax laws on its colonies and the Americans protested in that they had no representation in Parliament. Thus the phrase, "No taxation without representation".
