  • "Taxman" is a song in The Beatles: Rock Band. It is contained in the Budokan section of the story. It is the first track on the The Beatles's 1966 studio album Revolver. It was written by George Harrison. Lead vocals were also performed by Harrison.
  • "Taxman" is a cover song by The Power Station, released on the album Living In Fear by Chrysalis-Capitol-Guardian Records on 30 September 1996.
  • Taxman is a song written by George Harrison heading off the album Revolver. In this, George is rebelling against British taxes, whereby over time, he figured that most of their earnings went to taxes. Its lyrics attack the high levels of progressive tax taken by the British Labour government of Harold Wilson. Although George was The Beatles' lead guitar player, the famous opening riff, believed by many to be played by George, was actually done by Paul. It was recorded on April 21 and 22, and May 16, and June 21, 1966; and released on 5 August, 1966.
