Reason we pay taxes and why we should

[jonatuzc]

In my own country, the tax is defined as a tax that is a particular measure by which the state uses its power to communicate the private sector to the public sector for its socio-economic functions. governments. From a taxpayer perspective, taxes are defined as the number of compulsory contributions that every organization or individual has to pay to the state in accordance with the law in order to meet the need for expenditures for the performance of functions and duties. of the state, taxpayers can legally enjoy the remaining income.

This is called the progressive taxation and you are taxed according to the rise in your income. Besides, this is something that the state has to rely on if the economy is not in a very good shape.

It actually shrinks the gap between rich and poor of a country and has been a good portion of the GDP of almost all the countries except Dubai where it accounts to only one percent of the total GDP. In countries like Norway, taxation contributes up to 30% to the GDP. This is the reason why the living standards have been so high in countries like these.

Taxation is theft. "But who will build the roads" argument is really old and dumb, people are not some stupid monkeys who can't figure out things if no one guides them, there's nothing that can not be done privately and through voluntary cooperation (which is the same as privately). Roads, military, science and so on - all of it can and is done privately around the world. Government is exactly why Bitcoin was invented - you can't trust people with power and believe that they will do as they've promised, and even well-meaning leaders do stupid mistakes that cost billions. Just like Bitcoin have decentralized economy, some day people will decentralize power to the point when every individual will be independent from others.

Organization of the people! That's not as hard as we think it is. When there's a huge need for something, people get together and help each other. Taxation is theft, and is more so in some countries than others. When multiple ministers of a particular country in the middle east got caught with shoe boxes full of money buried under their lawns, the peasants said "They work hard, they deserve it". Ignorance.

Dubai's an example of how rich will always rule from their almighty position because they have such high standards to enter their level of living. They continue to separate themselves by widening the gap so they will always be untouchable up there.

All of those are good points my friends

To developed countries government required money where we give them via paying taxes.
Ever know why some government is looking to banned cryptocurrencies? Because the government needs money where we spend them while buying something if we use cryptocurrencies we won't pay any taxes.

Taxes are good, we truly need them to be able to live in a country, where it is worth to live. However, our government for example steals so shamelessly, while others live from a very low budget. So it is not an easy topic.

[nesty]

In every country it is mandated by the government to pay taxes and it is indicated in the government law. If we do not pay taxes the government might sue us for not paying the taxes and the surgers and penalties are even much higher.

[MarieMoore12]

Tax services should be reformed to make it more flexible to reduce defaulters and tax back directly. It is also important to know that paying our taxes makes us better citizens, helping build a stronger nation for its citizens and the future generation that will follow. Though tax evasion is considered unlawful, there are means which can be developed to resolve such acts without having to get to court. However, a stitch in time saves nine.

Tax gets misused many times like funding NASA "planet mars mission". There are more meteorite hits on Mars than on Earth but they are spending tax payers multi-million dollars on Mars missions. Wasteful government expenditure of the governments must be cancelled by the taxpayers.

In my opinion, it is better to invest in studying the planet Mars, than on an endless arms race and permanent local conflicts, and even global wars.
And taxes still have to pay, nowhere we will not get away from it. If we refuse to pay taxes in bulk, it will be even worse. Then we will have to defend ourselves against armed gangs, if everything collapses and anarchy reigns.

Man is social.  We are responsible towards society.  One of our social responsibilities is to share the burden of the society well beings.  As stated by the OP roads; transports; education; above all security are the services which Governments need to be assured to the people of respective countries.
For meeting above expenditure they need funds.  Taxes are only resources available with the governments.

So it is our responsibility to pay taxes honestly to help governments provide above facilities.

But it is not so simple.  Everything is not happening in such a great manner.  Dishonest corrupt leaders / officers have been diverting the funds to their own pockets instead of using it for public welfare.  Billions of dollars have been stolen by these corrupts.  And the public even after paying taxes has been deprived of the benefits they deserve.

After seeing corrupt leaders officers; traders too have started them.  They are always busy finding the ways how to cheat the government by non payment of taxes.  

So a vicious circle of corruption has started.  Only honest leaders can save the countries from the clutches of these corrupts.

Indians are lucky who have found Mr. Narender Modi as their PM.  After his taking over the seat of Prime Minister things have started changing.  Corruption at higher levels has been controlled though may not ended.  If Mr Modi is in power for few more years; the picture of India will be some different.

So by quoting above example I just want to say that taxes if paid, collected, utilized honestly; can really make this earth a beautiful heaven.

Maybe there are some reasons I pay taxes, for example, as I realize that taxes are very mandatory for all good citizens and if for example there are some people who do not want to pay taxes, maybe those who do not know the rules

[tapaibuccok]

paying taxes is an awareness of the community, I myself realize that by paying taxes means we help the development of the country to be better, one thing that must be overcome in my country is only corruption and many assets are sold to foreign countries.

[MaryKiTy22]

The reason you should pay taxes to the government is that when you live in a community, you should make a donation to the tax community as a form of donation and the government will use that money to They can pay wages and do other welfare work

[jack wira]

If you visit a place or recreation, then the place arrives ... those places are of course built by the central government with the taxes we pay so the point is that taxes are compulsory '.

[MeganRice1212]

As you know, the federal, state and local governments have many tasks to address, which no one citizen can organize, settle and cover. For example, we need to spend on national defense, public safety, social security, training, and transport. Federal, state, and local governments undertake these tasks and the financial costs incurred by the taxpayer. This is only possible if each citizen, or both, has to contribute to the expenses. It's just that each of us has to pay taxes. Indeed, my child or family member or friend has received money (child allowance, housing allowance, unemployment benefit, class picnic funding, etc.). Indeed, a few of us will not voluntarily pay taxes. Equity issues in the taxpayers have these ideas, but here it is necessary to maintain the discipline of the state by tax laws.

[Tamboran]

Public facilities and infrastructure, such as: roads, bridges, schools, hospitals. Military defense and security, employee salaries, food and fuel oil subsidies, etc. We need taxes to finance it all, because government resources from businesses that are managed are certainly limited, and the public must take part in accelerating the construction of facilities and operational costs.

[crwth]

The tax they deduct are so much than what we should be paying them for (probably goes on with other countries) There are at least millions or thousands of people in the country, what is going to happen to all that extra money? Yes, they serve us with a lot of stuff like roads, bridges and parking lots, etc. But sometimes it also makes you wonder if that is the correct amount you should be paying for. I just hope we get enough when we have our pensions.

[Pay phone82]

The reasons why we have to pay taxes is for the sake of our country. Because the government uses these funds to improve our country.

I am happy to see many important topic raised here

[Gabash]

Assessments are vital if a legislatures need to work so on the off chance that somebody is deceiving while at the same time paying the charges then he will be rebuffed with lawful actions.In digital forms of money a large portion of the general population are not paying duties and even numerous administrations don't have appropriate expenses for its use that is the reason the legislatures are endeavoring to boycott the utilization since it if proceeds for some time then it will cause prudent fiasco in that nation.

The reason why we should pay taxes is for the sustainability and development  of our economy. The taxes we pay is for the development for our country such as infrastructure, medical assistance and etc.

[RandyGamage]

your tax money also help to support common resources, such as police and firefighters.
Tax money helps to ensure the roads you travel on are safe and well-maintained. Taxes fund public libraries and parks. Taxes are also used to fund many types of government programs that help the poor and less fortunate, as well as many schools. government cannot do its duties with taxes. pay your taxes for a better society.
