why do people agree to pay taxes?

[RivAngE]

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.

I am sure that you are aware on what is the importance of taxes, we pay taxes because our society needs it. The government collecting taxes to develop and to improve the economy of a country. They are also giving services to their citizen for the citizen to keep safe and get better lives.

You're obviously not living in Greece!
We have no security, we pay for doctor visits or else we wait 2 months, we pay a big part of the medicines, most towns have terrible enviroments (no parks, bad roads, limited lighting), I hear about retirements being cut 50% down and in some case even more (but I have no personal experience on that unlike the rest of the problems).

In a country like that, you don't feel very thrilled to pay taxes!

I think people are obligated to pay taxes, it doesn't matter if we agree or disagree about this matter, it is our obligation and we should fulfill that obligation. Taxes are very important to our society. We use the money earned from paying taxes in order to build infrastructures that can help or will be a big help to our society. Also, we use this taxes as a basis of growing or getting rich society/country. These taxes will surely help us and will surely benefits us people living in a country where taxes are used for the good of the society/country.

the form of compulsory contribution that must be paid to the government and is coercive by not getting the rewards directly, but the rewards can be received indirectly. It seems like the construction of public facilities such as road construction, street lighting and other facilities. Many things are taxed, ranging from Income Tax (PPH), Land and Building Tax (PBB), Value Added Tax (VAT), Luxury Goods Tax (PPnBM), and Motor Vehicle Tax (PKB).

Taxes must be and should be paid as the taxes we pay are also used by the state for the purposes of government administration, such as paying civil servants' salaries, payments for army expenses, police and other state purposes.

Collected taxes from the Government are very essential to establish a solid economic status of one's country, There are many uses of tax, they used for infrastructures, Charity, building schools and offices, and a source of salary for public employees and government officials, and the good thing is if taxes are managed properly, everybody are benefited. Taxes had a significant role in one's country.

[talenah kotang]

we can only follow the rules of government, I think paying taxes is for public facilities we have. the government has facilitated us. I think paying taxes is not a problem as long as it suits our ability.

[Vaniaevergarden]

For me the biggest problem is that we all pay wildly different taxes. Furthermore, the wealthiest people often pay the lowest rates. And corporations have gamed the system to a point of corruption.  They get tax breaks for sending jobs out of the country and are rewarded by paying almost nothing (or nothing). Of course the bills still come in and that leaves you and me to pay for their breaks.

They thinking about their future. That when they will retire, they have some money
If we don't need to pay taxes, I'm sure, this money can't be safe. People just spent and stay without money

maybe you're right. there are some government regulations that make it happen. but only the use of taxes for the development of a better state. but there are still many parties who object to it, and there are also parties who support it happens.

[ficihch]

Taxes is one of every government monetary policy in countries. Taxes is usually used for the development in all areas. It's usually to develop infrastructure, for salaries of government employees, make people prosperous etc. It's the obligation of every people to his country.

For me, I am agree to pay tax because I know that the money will I pay for tax will be used for the development of the country where I belong and it is good for the future.

[aqrulesms]

That does not make sense to question the most common law that the majority of countries have because taxes is like a systematic regulation that has been working for a long time.

One reason is for safety purposes when times come thats why people agreed to pay taxes in order we had no fear to the government.

[queenlaurel]

The reason for payment of tax to me is still confusing. Well all I hear is that they use tax to repair, build or improve the economy so as to make it more conducive for us. One thing i knowis that each country has a means of revenue in which they make money, so why tax your fellow people to pay for what you can fix?

[Stephen1989]

Unfortunately the percentages of our taxes that go towards these things listed are screwed up by the nonsense back room deals our politicians create which leads to billions of wasted tax dollars.

[tarable]

actually paying taxes does not harm us, because the taxes that have been collected sometimes return to us. so we must obey the existing rules

[FUD Expert]

Because the government obliged us to do it. I know people don't really want to do it whenever they hear and see those corrupt politicians living like a king using the people's money but we can't  really do anything about it.

We pay taxes because the government made us pay for it. But I dont think it gives us harm because it is only a small percentage taken from our salary. In my country, thise who are earning minimum wage is tax exempted, although in the goods that we buy we still have to pay tax. But we should not worry about it since these taxes will go back to us a hundred folds by neans of infrastructures, public schools and hospitals.

Yes taxes are beneficial for us and its not a huge payment its just a small percentage to cut from account in a year, so i think some people should agree to pay taxes because some are hide their money from taxes so it is not good because it will harm for poor people.

[agimat]

Paying Taxes is the reason we are getting Health services, Law enforcement, Clean streets and parks, Great Infrastructure.

Government need money to provide us a better place to live that's why they force us to pay taxes.

People agree to pay taxes because they are law abiding citizens and in that way in giving right taxes you are helping the government, because in returned the government provide many benifits to the community like providing teachers in public school, doctors in public hospitals, police and military force for our safety and many to mention in return to your taxes given.
