why do people agree to pay taxes?

[Direwolve735]

I don't think people agree to pay taxes its just they don't have any choice and it is deducted automatically in their monthly  salary. Anyway i just think that my taxes are being used properly by the government. Taxes are really a butt hurt that is why i always look for a way to earn extra income online because my salary with tax deduction wont be able to feed my family.

I'm sure that people agree to pay taxes. Taxes are one of the consequences of a social contract. To protect themselves, people unite in society, because they understand that together they are stronger. But in society they can not manage everything by themselves, everyone can not be a leader, so people transfer part of their rights to the leaders of the state. At the same time, the state is obliged to protect members of society and assumes the responsibility to represent the interests of the population. Taxes are necessary to maintain this system. Otherwise, it will not function. Another issue is that these taxes should be adequate and co-profitable for the real incomes of the population, and not a "rip-off", as in most countries.

sounds like a revolution, no?
this is how it actually works: you choose people to run a country, those people develop a system which helps to build new infrastructure, pay pensions to retired people etc. You need money for that, that's why taxes exist.
Are all taxes fair - this is another question

It is very evident that individuals pay taxes because they value the public goods that their taxes finance. In short, individuals exhibit much diversity in their behavior.

[Alifal]

that's easy to say, Gov forces you to pay tax depending on the tax law created by them..It is in a longer history.
Those people  looking a new government which, in time, turns out to be pretty similar to the old one.

I suppose there will be taxes in cryptocurrency in some time. And even now traders and investors should pay taxes for crypto activities - for example Coinbase presented special calculator for this purpose.

[Blackmet]

People agree to pay taxes? They are not! Government just making us pay taxes because if we will stop doing this we will probably lose water, electricity and gas.

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.

Most people don't even realize how much they pay in taxes each year. If people were aware of this, I believe there would probably be more resistance. Also, people tend to comply. Think of airport security now versus 20 years ago.

People agree to pay taxes because it is in the law that everyone will pay taxes. The taxes is used fund government project and budget for the government agency. And also the salary of government employees and all politicians. The government cannot do their task without the taxes.

[Janinjo11]

People agree to pay taxes because paying taxes is mandatory. Some of them actually believe the government is putting their money to good use, but in 99% that isn't the case. Taxes present governments incompetence. No wonder there are many tax evasions.

[decano]

That is because the government requires people to pay taxes, they make us people believe that tax collected will be use for the nation, i dont think its right too, i mean you work for it so damn hard then it'll get cut for what? For the government to corrupt it?

[binghope]

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.

But this is dangerous. We should not touch the government. They are very upset and empowered to harm us. I think we have many ways not to follow their orders. Do not fool yourself against the government if you want peace.

[Sand King]

Supervision and sanctions make people forced to pay taxes, even in my country if it does not pay taxes then it can be imprisoned, this is what makes people forced to pay taxes because all transactions must use tax numbers.

I believe that a lot of people agree to pay taxes because the taxes that we will be collected by the goverment is we will be a big help to improve our countriea economy, and paying taxes means that bitcoin is now totally leagal.

This is very true and very ironic, we as the people have to work then told to pay taxes to the state. while the officials in the government are mostly corrupt people, so far I actually really not happy with it, I feel fooled because the hard work so far only spent by corruptors who gnaw the state.

People pay taxes because they believe that the government is using those taxes in the development of their country. Social protection for citizens. 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. The economic system in every country's are base on a taxes being collected, without payment of taxes it will result economic shutdowns.

Whenever there is a society then there are some rules to implement on that society so that the betterment of the people who do not earn a lot can be done and the next generations can be groomed with equality. Taxes are just one of the method to stop the money in just few lucky hands of the society and keep the money revolving so that other people can also get the chances to earn them. The keepers of the societies use this money for the betterment of the society.

[Umar001]

Peoples agree to pay tax because they want to be responsible citizens in their various country, if you are eligible to pay tax, I don't see reason why you should not pay, every law abiding citizens  pay taxes.

[will777]

Because you live in a society, not just you. You work and your business comes from that country and the citizens work for you. Because of this, you have to pay tax or join the business environment to make the country better for creating new environments for unemployed people.

Some people agree to pay taxes because they cant do anything about it but to accept the fact that they under the law.If they refuse to pay taxes specially the professionals, if they didnt pay for taxes they will be imprison because of tax evasion.For non professionals and normal people, they still force to pay when they buy product or services due the tax is part of the billings needed to be payed.

[robbietobby]

People pay their taxes for their own sake. Government facilities requires financial support from the citizens also in a form of tax therefore they could serve the country for the best and plan out what is the best for the citizen itself. It's like a rotation, but what could be more worst is that corruption takes place on each of every situation dealing with handling moneys in subtle (allocated) ways.

[dekafee79]

Because it is the polite thing to do.

I think it is not a matter of agreeing or not to pay taxes, but in my opinion because of the compulsion to be paid to pay taxes, if taxes are paid, there must be many citizens who disagree if taxed
