I disagree with the statement that individuals should not pay taxes to the state. The government
Runs the country from the taxes it collects. Taxes are collected only from those who earn above a
Certain minimum limit. It is our moral duty to pay taxes.
Tax money collected by government is used to fund basic amenities, provide various services to
Citizens and for government administration and projects running of jails and defence system and
Many other operations. It is not wrong to say that “taxes run a country. " Thus, it is very important
For a government to make people pay taxes.
Let us analyze why people do not want to pay taxes. The main reason is their dissatisfaction with
government in serving them. They blame government for things like a lack of infrastructure,
Poverty and unemployment, but they are not completely wrong as tax revenue is misused in some
Or the other way in every country. In developed countries, however, because of higher satisfaction
from government's functioning, citizens may be more willing to pay taxes. Another factor
Generating dissatisfactions the tax structure itself. Often the tax system is complex and it drives
People away from paying taxes, it is also felt that the tax rates are high and tax slabs are unequal.
So they feel it is not unethical if one goes for tax avoidance or tax evasion
Not paying taxes can drastically affect a country's revenue generation, my own country, India, for
That matter. But then, it is desired that government comes up with a fair tax structure and also make
People aware where the taxes are being diverted. Even lowering the tax rates can help a country
Increase its tax collection as it would increase compliance among the taxpayers. Tax reform should
also be fast so that no public grievance or non-compliance remains for long A proper tax system
Backed up with strict tax laws can produce the best results. Governmentusion, I believe that, it isthe public interestery citizen to pay tax and the duty of every
government to use it appropriately in public interest
