Yes, during the Stamp Act of 1765, some individuals from England were appointed as tax collectors in the American colonies. These collectors were responsible for enforcing the act and ensuring compliance with the new taxes on printed materials.

The backlash against these collectors highlighted the growing tensions between Britain and the colonies over taxation without representation.
