The Intolerable Acts (also known as the Coercive Acts) did not levy any tax upon the colonists; instead, the acts existed as a means of punishing the citizenry Massachusetts for the Boston Tea Party, which took place in response to the Tea Act (this act did levy a tax).
The Intolerable Acts closed the port at Boston, streamlined the process of quartering British troops in colonists' homes, restructured the colonial government of Massachusetts, and amended the process by which royal officials accused of wrongdoing were to be tried in court.
