why do people agree to pay taxes?

[marsmyname]

Do you want a war?, do you promote violence?, if not i dont see why you should be asking this question, We leave by a rule of law. Taxes are just a means of collecting revenue used for maintenance of a country.. if there are no taxes the economic structure of a country could just crumble, So yes people agree because its the right and logical thing to do

It is a definite thing that when you are living in a country you have to give something back from your side so that your country can go ahead and make something better for you. Same is case with bitcoins, when it will be legalized and people will be using them, they will definitely be agreed to pay taxes over the transactions so that the system can be running in a smooth way.

Because it is our responsibility to pay them. Government use out taxes for the benefit of the country, it is the governments source of income. Also, it is on the law, and we must obey it, unless we want to go to jail.

I choose to pay taxes and I expect my neighbors to do the same. There are services that I expect to be available in my community, roads need maintained, fires need put out, trash needs to be picked up. If I had the time to do one of these jobs I'd expect to be paid for my work. Since I don't have the time, I expect others to do this work for me, and I have to pay my share so that these folks can feed their families.

You have a good point oe idea on having a or paying tax. It is true that tax help the community or a country based on the shares of people and the percentage where it could benefit different sector of the government to help small city to established jovs, food and needed money to sustain the economy. So people definitely need to pay tax because it is their responsibility to serve and help their country.

[BubblySheep]

Taxes are needed to keep the country at peace and for further development.. Corrupt officials are the ones who give their govts a bad image.

[Kalemder]

I think tax is bullshit. Today, taxes are very high. it should be kept at normal level

[bechay20]

On the other hand paying tax is good because we helping our country to progress,and aside from that if we will pay tax we will secured by the government.The bad things is if the government didnt use the tax collection in right way.

[Yara1]

Because no one is above the law of the land which is the government and tax is one of the means government use to get income to run the country.

[RavenHood]

In my opinion, People agree to pay taxes. Everyone have a regular job is need to pay tax, because the tax is so important to help or support the resources of the government like Hospital, Education and other facilities of the economy of the country. Tax is also helping them build or repair the roads. But there are a lot of people in the government are corrupting the budget.

[tapaibuccok]

I personally pay taxes, I realize the tax funds will be used to build public facilities such as paving the road and making bus stops or building parks in the city center, so I do not mind to pay taxes

[jovs]

People has the responsibility to support his or her country. And tax is a system on payment that could serve as a fund that government implement to sustain once economy and to aid needed support on the sectors of the government. I think all people is necessary to to follow and oblige in the rule or the system of tax so that the economy of their own country developed and they could have a better living with the help or support of their government.

[Shivan Dragon]

That's because taxes will go to other govt.projects and to beautify our country. Even during medieval times, taxes were also present. It is mandatory to pay taxes in every countries and no one is above the law. People should cooperate to the govt or our country will be in turmoil if they dont pay taxes.

[Fatmoo]

If no one is paying their tax the nation would disintegrate. It is impossible to the government to run without tax. They need to collect tax in order to maintained and develop the infrastructure of a country. We need to pay tax properly because we are the hope of the nation. It's for our sake.

[Kokoy]

the only reason this works is because the citizens are unorganized and unarmed.
if people gather in groups of tens of people to protect each other against the government there is no way they could throw anyone in jail.

Yes I agree with that, and I think anonymity feature is present here which is the reason why governmwnt allow this platform to be excused in paying taxes. Taxes where a good thing and a responsibility indeed of each individual who are capable to fulfill this thing, which may help the society to have a better service to offer.

[werpak321]

why is it ok for a group of people calling themselves the government to force everyone to buy their services?
if enough armed people refused to pay and told the government to go fuck itself there is nothing they could do.

Not all people agree the tax. But we need to pay taxes,  for the better future even its so high to pay our taxes.

[alphaomega.f]

because the citizens are afraid of doing something that will lead them to things that may not go according to what they want. they couldn't just strike against the government so that they won't have to pay their taxes. nobody can just do that. since the government holds the power but what we don't realize is the citizens really is the one with power, it's just that unity is lacking. but anyway, paying taxes is not that bad since it's suppose to be used for the country and it's citizens, unless something shady is happening.

[samyang2x]

It is mandated by the government to force its people and businesses to pay its taxes.And if you do not qant to pay taxes there are laws that are punishing people for not obeying the law.And sometimes lead to serious cases.So they are oblige to pay taxes.

This is the right answer.

Also, smart govts prefer to tax bitcoin rather than ban it. The latest govt to tax bitcoin is India:

https://www.coindesk.com/report-indias-government-sends-tax-notices-to-cryptocurrency-traders/

India's government has reportedly sent tax notices to cryptocurrency traders and investors following a nationwide survey.

According to Reuters, a survey found that Indian citizens conducted more than $3.5 billion worth of trades and other transactions across a 17-month period. The government also collected data from nine exchanges within the country, and per the report, notices have been issued to "tens of thousands of people."

As a result, India is now looking to tax capital gains, as well as receive information about how much people own in cryptocurrencies and where their funds are located.

Because there is nothing wrong with the idea of taxes , it helps develop the country . People are pissed of at paying taxes because they see there money being thrown away in useless projects . If my tax money goes to the right thing i have no problems paying taxes and i'll do it happily.

[regnidorhcs]

People agreed to pay taxes because first of all taxes is collected by the government in order to improved their country so if the people do not pay taxes, the government can not build infrastructures, campaign, habitat and etc. that we used in our daily activities.

[Omnia Vanitas]

If taxes were well used, there would be no problem in paying them.
But when there are dishonest people in government, why should I allow them to rob me?
