In the Edo period, daimyo (excluding taihan of tozama) often experienced transfers of the territories, and although omote-daka was supposed to be the same, transfer could be a promotion to the double amount of uchi-daka or a demotion to the half amount (for example, the Naito clan was demoted from the Iwakitaira Domain to the Nobeoka Domain of Hyuga Province).
江戸時代には、外様の大藩を除き大名の領地替えがしばしば行われたが、表高は同じとされる一方で、内高で2倍の栄転もあれば、半減の左遷もあった（例、磐城平藩から日向延岡藩に左遷された内藤氏）。
