There is talk of a profit or economic benefit that is obtained from a business, it is a tax that in the old royal monarchy they imposed for the importation of salt and cocoa. In the Middle Ages it was the tax that people had to pay to the feudal, it was a kind of tribute that occurred with great frequency, due to the passing of history it is read that there is recorded documentation that this was done, since it was more easy to charge it than other types of amount. In France the gabelle was implanted on the salt business.
Something similar was also used in Spain as in other countries, something that only the poor paid, a condition that the rich took advantage of because they belonged to the high line, they were out of it, in general it is all kinds of tax that the state charges. At present, these types of taxes are still taken into account, which the government distributes according to the needs of their country such as roads, health or improvements in education, but in many cases these amounts can be astronomical.
In Colombia, giving gabela is a form of daily dialect, it is giving an advantage, ease over something or something, as in Argentina, when a person is offered an advantage in a competition or race, it is to give a period of time of 5 minutes or more, is to give the gabela to someone in advance. The gabelas or taxes are applied in different percentages and to different areas of commerce that every business or company must pay, for importing and exporting to exemptions such as the so-called free zones that are free of this and do not pay any type of tax amount for their products, since these businesses are not charged for their purchases.
