why do people agree to pay taxes?

[Celine Ariola]

paying taxes is good for the economy. Think of it as a benchmark in which the government can take from us. It will serve as the maximum amount to be given to the government for we are benefiting from their services. If there are no benchmark to what the government can take from us, we might lose all the fruits of our labor. So I say, taxes is acceptable and the reason why we are at an acceptable low level of war with the government.

Tax payment has been right from the existence of life. It is our duty to the government and its paid to develop the society in which we live.

Well, the roads have to be maintained fixed, the parks need to be kept in good condition, the pensions need to be paid to people who retired, and for other social programs. Taxes have existed for good reasons. The other thing is that people don't see a decent result of the usage of this money by the Government. In countries with high corruption rate, people are disappointed and organize protests, revolutions, etc.

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.

If a country grows more prominent, the tax on which the contributors are paid is higher. If you are using a company or production line, your taxpayer number will be much higher because the government thinks it pays. Taxes are for the development of the country, and besides, the country is going further with the international, the charges will be kept to the poor or the construction of new buildings.

They don't force you to buy their services, the government works only because they collect taxes , taxes are the source of income for the government through which they can perform their duties.
It's not at all wrong to give a legit part of your payment for good work , ( ignore the corruption and everything) it's really very important for the working of the government and it's institutions...
Also one should remember this government is for the people to the people and by the people they just don't have some money printing machine through which they can earn.

Taxes are obligations of the people and as a citizen of your country you need to pay taxes. There is no argument for that because even though we are young, we already paying taxes because when we bought something, the tax is already added to that item and we just pay the item and tax at the same time. So i think that people treat it as an obligation to pay taxes.

[Gringoblin67]

Aside from paying taxes as every citizen's duty, it's also important to understand that every tax payer's money counts since if enough people don't pay taxes properly, the govt would lose funds to support its officials as well as for further development of projects. In short, there will be chaos. I don't want chaos.

so that the goverment have also income in bitcoin and became legal this the only reasons why the governmet not recognized bitcoin and against the investment and the bitcoins has not control by the government if they need money they cannot barrow to the bitcoin just like the bank or some onganization no fund to used for campaign or other activities. they wanted to hold the money of the people not private group that out of control of the goverment.

[Noelbetty12]

Whether people should agree or not, the main concern is this. What is it that we want our Government should do for us? The Government as we know it is not owned by anybody. We only have laws supporting its existence. It cannot stand on its own. It cannot even survive without income. How should these officials be paid for the service rendered? The Military and other armed forces that are keeping us safe, The Doctors, Scientist and everybody else who are working in the Government for the common good. Taxes is the main source of income for the government. Without it, everybody serving will stop doing so. So what can we expect then from a government without taxes? Nothing.

Because it is already inherent in a person, he is used to paying taxes, because they have been fixed in the life of ordinary people from an early age

[futureofeth]

The reason is very simple, because if they try to escape paying the taxes to the authorities in their country they live in, they might face a heavier fine or being sentence to jail if they are being caught avoiding to pay the taxes for that certain year based on their income level.

That is one of the reasons for paying taxes, people are making with Bitcoin and they want to pay their taxes on time. If they pay taxes on time there won't be any problem for them. Already they are making more profits from their investment and their wish is to pay tax on time.

Because they have nothing else to do but to pay taxes, if they not pay taxes then they will be go to jail. Because i know that paying taxes is a law and it is a mamdatory so if you have some taxes to pay and you did not pay they will force you to pay. But there are some taxes that we dont know that they are taxes. Like for example buying some groceries if you buy in the market there are some vat in it and those are taxes and we cannot remove that thing because taxes are going to the government and all those taxes will go to us as a benefits.

[bryant.coleman]

Who is agreeing to pay taxes? Personally I would avoid paying taxes, if I could. But still I am forced to make my monthly payments as I am well aware of the legal repercussions if I fail to do so. No one likes paying a significant chunk of their hard earned money to the government. But there is hardly anything that we can do about it.

[alexsamudra]

paying taxes is a culture of all the countries that follow it tax payments now do indeed because we are protected by the government from harm. we get income from our country that our income must be paid 10% for its taxes. in the franchise also like that all taxes have to pay 10% otherwise we will get sanction from the government, and why is there any country that refuse bitcoin but pay 10% bitcoin income for its taxes what is its security money for them?

[bilyboy]

I think tax has made for support the official thing service from their country and tax do cover and help the money flow into the company . and if their legal agree with tax it should be paid  so citizen should paid for service thats has already he used in that county.

Thats not always the case, it could also have been private industry that built those things or communitys themselves.   Taxation is a horribly inefficent and distant long winded way to fund anything, a local cooperative is far more motivated and informed to do a better job of all those things you list.

Tyranny of the majority is the real reason you all have to pay taxes.   Mass apathy is the primary cause, like I said above motivated people can always find a more personal solution then a federal government imposing possible prison time for a tax and spend system that only promises overall gains and does not always deliver!

In theory you have the democratic right to alter all the details but on a massive million population scale, the individual is lost in a mass of media spin.    This is probably why we see some small move to self exclusion from larger systems, like the Catalan vote in Spain or Brexit.

Paying tax to the government is our responsibility. Taxes are the sources of the government to pay their employees, build infrastructures and it is our contribution to build the nation. Tax is in the law and we could not run from it unless you have no job anymore. People refused to pay taxes sometimes because they see their government as corrupt ones and no changes has been made in their countries. But being a good citizen, we must pay our taxes rather than be called rebels.

We pay taxes because we are the citizine of one country,  and we responsible to pay because all we need is development of the country.
