It's just a hypothetical question and says nothing about me. I decided to open thread with this question for a lot of reasons which I'll explain down below.
If you think about inflation, taxes and your salary at the same time, you'll understand how the government eats you alive. Let's start with the fact that იf you live in Europe and have a normal salary, you have to leave almost half of it in taxes. Then, when you want to go for shopping and buy something in store, including food, clothes, technics, etc, you have pay your taxes of those items with already taxed money. Then, the store owner has to pay taxes of the income his store generated. Distributors, who deliver things to these stores, have to pay taxes too. Then there are vehicle taxes, property taxes. So, absolutely everything is taxed and on top of that, our salary is taxed and even on top of that, we experience inflation. This is not fair!
So, my legitimate question is, after all the robbery, a person, who doesn't pay taxes, is a bad person for the society or not? More likely I want to get answer from those whose countries have a model similar of European healthcare and employment insurance.
From a legal point of view, tax evasion is clearly a violation of the law. Even though taxes are burdensome for everyone, both individuals and companies, this is a way for the government to get state revenue. For adherents of anarcho, of course this is something wrong, this is extortion of the people. But no country uses anachroisms, so we don't need to go into that further
Cases of tax evasion may be carried out by large companies. Wait, maybe it's not called tax evasion, they're trying to trick taxes so that the amount paid isn't as big as it should be. Large companies will employ many tax experts to be able to reduce tax spending. I can't explain this in detail because I'm not a legal expert, but what these tax experts do can reduce tax spending without violating the law.
One way to avoid taxes and reduce employee costs is to move the company to a low-tax, low-wage country. It is the easiest way to keep company taxes and expenses down. Developing countries are usually the preferred location. This is a win win solution, for companies it will reduce spending, for developing countries it will get new investment and job vacancies
