Civil List Act 1760

3. c. 1) was an Act of the Parliament of Great Britain passed upon the accession of George III.

The Act transferred almost all civil list revenues (mainly customs and excise) to Parliament.

The fixed amount George III received was therefore a reduction in the Civil List.

[1] If the previous arrangement had been retained, George III's civil list in 1777 would have been more than £1,000,000 and would have amounted to £1,812,308 in 1798.

[2] By the end of the decade the civil list arrears amounted to more than half a million pounds and the king had to apply to Parliament to pay it off.
