We know that theoretically, taxes are supposed to serve as one sure means that a nation gets her revenue from and that such revenue is what's used for building basic social amenities like roads, hospitals and the creation of systems that help a nation to thrive in her developmental agendas and that in an ideal situation if followed the right way and all the proceeds used in the right way, it can surely foster the development of a nation, but can we say our tax system is meeting up with it suppose purpose? Or is it just serving as a medium of extorting money from poor citizens?.
Of course if the right senses of the government and the respectable authorities would utilize the revenues of taxations and also implementing tax structures respectably it'd be a resourceful means to enhance an economy system including the accessibility to execute community projects such as infrastructures to generate more incomes and also utilizing it on the amenities to execute public development.
But right as it stance in Nigeria, to whom it may concern is not utilizing those profits from taxes and it's not being well mannered projected on the masses.
You can imagine the government increasing the taxes and utility bills during and inflation period by which even the rich is afraid of what the future would become and the average citizens are struggling to survive while the poor are being hopeless to better lives but the government is ignorant to human sympathies as they increases the bills and taxes on the masses during such hard times and yet development is not coming and no visible accounts of what the government is using those generated funds for.
So I'd say that there's selfishness projects in th now of the system of taxation and its governments and authorities.
