Some people believe that they should keep all the money they have earned and should not pay any tax to the state. What is the purpose of taxes? Why do some people refuse to pay taxes? It is often argued that people’s earnings should remain in their own pocket and levying any form of tax by the government should be stopped. While there are a number of socially and economically compelling reasons to justify the tax system, people who are unwilling to contribute to this system provide some grounds which will be discussed. The monetary resources collected by taxes has been the main source of money in order to provide a wide variety of vital services in a country. Short of having these resources, the government would be incapable of investing in infrastructures such as roads, amenities, and securing the cities, to name but a few. In addition, since the tax systems mostly predicated on the individuals’ net income, it leads to a more homogeneous and classless society. The more individuals make money, the more they are charged by the tax scheme, and we, as a result, would be more likely to witness a just distribution of wealth in a nation. However, not all people are satisfied by how the government has deployed the system. Many people especially the rich see the tax system unjust and imposing. Believing both the amount and quality of work they are doing is significantly higher, not only do they express their dissatisfaction, but also they are constantly looking for ways to avoid taxes. Furthermore, many expenditures made by authorities are not considered logical and effective, and they are believed to defeat the purpose of the tax system. Many subsidies for energy, for example, are in favor of the affluent people which proved to be the main energy consumers, hence more tendency for tax invasionevasion. In conclusion, as the role of an effective tax system in a nation’s growth is indisputable, it seems the authorities should continue to evolve the system, so that more people align themselves with how the system is being deployed.
