Yes, American colonists generally paid lower taxes than British citizens living in England. The British government imposed various taxes on the colonies, but they were often less burdensome compared to the taxes levied on British subjects. Additionally, many taxes in the colonies were indirect, such as tariffs, rather than direct taxes, which further contributed to the perception that colonists were being taxed less. This disparity in taxation became a significant point of contention leading up to the American Revolution.
