why do people agree to pay taxes?

[yusupjatigumilar]

The full tax is widely used for:

1. Financing state expenditures, such as self liquidating expenses, for example: expenditures for productive projects of export goods.
2. Financing reproductive expenditures, such as: expenditures that provide economic benefits to communities, for example: expenditures for irrigation and agriculture.
3. Financing expenditures that are not self-liquiditing and not reproductive, for example: expenditure for the establishment of monuments and recreational objects.
4. Financing unproductive expenditures, for example: expenditures to finance national defense or war and expenditure on future savings: expenditures for orphans.

So obediently paying public taxes will benefit:

Public facilities and infrastructure, such as roads, bridges, schools, hospitals
Defense and security, such as buildings, weapons, housing and salaries
Food subsidies and Fuel Oil
Environmental Sustainability and Culture
Election Fund
Development of Mass Transit Equipment, and others.

This is true for countries that are developed and are using the taxes for good purposes as you mentioned. There are countries where govt officials are squandering taxes and so people do not even see the need to pay them.

If you do not like to pay taxes then you can always buy a boat and sail the high seas or move into the wilderness of Canada, Alaska, South America, Africa. But you probably do not like that scenario.

You would probably want legal and physical protection, and would utilize the market that the government is legally organized and edited, you would use the state infrastructure but would not want to pay for the use if you will not pay taxes to the government then there is no police no court no law just because of this we have to pay taxes

It's part of the status quo. If they don't pay taxes they will get a in a lot of trouble. And most people choose that than to have their life and credit ruined. I'm sure that's not a good excuse for you, but if the government doesn't have money, then it can't run, and whatever you have won't matter.

[medussa]

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.

Taxes is meant to take care of collective governance, without which it is nearly impossible to live in fully functional society. It is a civil and a moral responsibility to pay tax. the problem however is that it is often too high.

[Tatsuyashiba]

With the government tax so be able to control any people who have enough wealth because the government does not want any rich people who are not famous and can be something that threatens them for the future.

[Comino]

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.

Do you think that the whole country split into groups of tens would be able to keep its existence or exist without a leader? Do you truly think that the whole financial system would exist if there was no one to pay taxes?

Taxes, are the main source of federal, state and local government revenues, paying for the buildings, public education, highways, airplanes, rockets, road signs, social services, agriculture, subsidies, disasters, police and fire departments etc etc. Really, why should we pay taxes?

The other side of course, is the size of taxes and their purpose, which also worries me. But in general, how would we exist otherwise?

[sushimittee]

taxes help to run the country and hence it is important to pay taxes. The roads and infrastructure and education and healthcare - all government spending's are depended on taxes

[marsmyname]

People pay taxes to the state in the hope of getting a decent pension, insurance, free schooling. but unfortunately not in all countries they get it.

Not all the countries tax their people. Dubai does not charge its citizen for the business and lands they own and still they have great facilities and healthy lifestyle. This is just because they have good policies and good policies make a nation perfect. Other countries like Norway and Sweden do tax people but provide great facilities as well and that is the reason the Scandinavians are so much developed and social.

People pay taxes because they have no way out. For non-payment of taxes can give a prison term.
In general, if there is no tax for what the government will contain, and if there is no government, there will be no state.
Taxes can only be reduced to a minimum.

Add up to this statement that paying a taxes must be depends on the laws of a country like in America that is one of the largest user of cryptocurrencies, they pay taxes for transacting their invest in a certain cryptocurrencies and this is a fact that without taxes, the governments will encounter a lot of problems in terms of funds.

there is no way out, but because a country's income is through taxes. well, tax use is also for public use, so many people or even everyone agrees to pay it. because of that, we can enjoy a good way, and many other things.

In my own point of view, people pay taxes because it will benefit us to have a good establishments such as schools, hospitals, roads, and etc. But there are still people who disagree to pay their taxes because some governments just only corrupts the our that we used to pay taxes.

[Irviyandi]

Probably most of those who agree to pay the taxes because they are aware of the obligations of a good citizen, who must comply with state regulations and if there is a group of people who do not want to pay taxes may be only a few people who do not know the rules

[Popov_popov]

And what else remains to do, only pay taxes.

[Lodipetmalu]

It was our obligation to the government, we were not excuse not to do it or we have no option not to pay it. In all things there is tax, there were many forms of tax, in things we buy, there is tax. Therefore, we can not avoid tax.

[cabalism13]

Tax is just one of the regularity of life, with this the government can manipulate the economy and even give some services that we townsmen needs.
It's just a matter of thing that even gives you the right to live or stay in a certain place without paying anything.
It doesn't have to be forcibly taken to people who has a large salary or profit but it does make sense when the government is in the verge of being corrupt.
You can't get away with taxes as long as you live there are taxes everywhere.

[solkinsolali]

I believe every citizen of any country that is taxable should remit the tax due. If you fail to pay tax, then I consider you a cheat. You know why? Because, you are enjoying the amenities provided as a result of tax contribution from others without any contribution from you. It is against the law if you failed to pay.

[Zandro]

Some people are a good samaritan and law-abiding citizen so we can not blame them if they want to pay tax especially when they are earning bog with crypto.

[mattmcegg]

Taxation is theft. Period.

[b_oo]

Isn't it all the same really? If there were no taxes, then everybody will have more money. But since it's all relative, that extra money will just have the same relative purchasing power. Why sell you something for one dollar when everyone can afford to pay $2?
