What might the average annual income of a peasant in Westeros be? Would it vary from region to region? Would peasants pay their taxes in goods or coin, and would that go directly to their local lord? Sorry if you’ve answered these before, I did try searching your previous posts.

See here for incomes.
I imagine it would, with peasants in less fertile regions like the North or the Iron Islands or the rockier parts of the Vale having a lower income than in the Reach or the Westerlands, etc.
Tended to be more in kind than in coin, although there would be taxes you had to pay in coin which is why people would grow and market surpluses.
It would be a bit of a mix, with local lords collecting and keeping local taxes and rents, but also collecting royal taxes, which they would send to the monarch minus a share for their troubles.
