We see it everywhere. To counter that coronavirus disaster, governments are spending money like there's no tomorrow. Budget's deficit will rise to new heights, never seen before except during war times. In US and EU, debts are staggering. The Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank are printing money faster that I'm writing it. If you ask what's next, I'm afraid there's only one answer.
In most countries, governments will have no other choice but to raise taxes. They will have to be smart to avoid killing the economy, but they will need to bring more money to balance their budget (or more likely to reduce their operating deficit).
As I haven't paid any income tax since 1997, that's all right with me, but I urge all fellow Bitcoiners to organize themselves, and to plan ahead to avoid the worst...
Or could I be wrong? There will be no more taxes next year?
Yes, it is right, most of the government have to face a deficit budget because govt. income has decreased but expenditure has increased largely for huge amount of budget for medical sector, different incentives, subsidy and tax holiday for economy etc. But the question is how the government will arrange this deficit. You are partially correct that there may be a pressure of the taxes but only tax is not the only source of income of the government. There have export/import income, VAT, tariff, different charges and fees, state owned business etc. You know countries have already started to break the locked down and coming back to the previous position. So, I think, all other govt income will increase and economy will recover its own position soon. Besides, for providing sufficient fund to the market govt is trying to give loan in lower rate, giving help to the general public, providing different incentives etc. so that the people can retain their purchasing power. In such case, there has less possibility to impose a larger tax for people.
