- Curacas - The Curacas were the leaders from the tribes that were conquered. They were often left as leaders of their tribes. They still had to report to the Inca, but if they remained loyal, they often kept their position.
- Tax collectors - Each group of families, or ayllu, had a tax collector who kept watch over them. He made sure that they paid all of their taxes. There was also a strict hierarchy of tax collectors. The higher levels kept an eye on the people below them.
- Record keepers - In order to track who had paid their taxes and where the supplies were stored, there were many record keepers in the government.
