Some people believe they should keep all the money they have earned and should not pay tax to the state. Do you agree or disagree?

It is our moral duty to pay taxes. Tax is imposed on individuals that varies with respective income. However, several masses believe that they should not pay taxes to the country. personally, I disagree with this statement and before completion of my essay  I would articulate some reasons to support my view thoroughly.

Government runs the country from the taxes it collects and taxes are collected only from those who earn above certain minimum limit. The government provide all the basic amenities provided different services to citizens and for government administration and projects by collecting tax. nevertheless, people do not want to pay taxes. The paramount concrete reason is dissatisfaction. To put it more simply, they are dissatisfied with government and blame them for things like lack of infrastructure, poverty, and unemployment. Moreover, the other factor generating dissatisfaction is the tax structure itself. Often the tax system is too complex so people run away from paying taxes. Sometimes 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.

If people are not paying taxes, it drastically affect a country's revenue generation. For example, my own country India for that matter. But it is equally desired that government come up with a fair tax structure and also make people aware where taxes are being diverted. Tax reform should also be fast so that no public grievance or  non-compliance remains for long. people tax system backed up with strict tax low can produced best results.

To synopsis, I reiterate my opinion by saying that it is the duty of every citizens to pay tax and duty of every government to use it appropriately in public interest.
