The tax they deduct are so much than what we should be paying them for (probably goes on with other countries) There are at least millions or thousands of people in the country, what is going to happen to all that extra money? Yes, they serve us with a lot of stuff like roads, bridges and parking lots, etc. But sometimes it also makes you wonder if that is the correct amount you should be paying for. I just hope we get enough when we have our pensions.

Public facilities and infrastructure, such as: roads, bridges, schools, hospitals. Military defense and security, employee salaries, food and fuel oil subsidies, etc. We need taxes to finance it all, because government resources from businesses that are managed are certainly limited, and the public must take part in accelerating the construction of facilities and operational costs.

As you know, the federal, state and local governments have many tasks to address, which no one citizen can organize, settle and cover. For example, we need to spend on national defense, public safety, social security, training, and transport. Federal, state, and local governments undertake these tasks and the financial costs incurred by the taxpayer. This is only possible if each citizen, or both, has to contribute to the expenses. It's just that each of us has to pay taxes. Indeed, my child or family member or friend has received money (child allowance, housing allowance, unemployment benefit, class picnic funding, etc.). Indeed, a few of us will not voluntarily pay taxes. Equity issues in the taxpayers have these ideas, but here it is necessary to maintain the discipline of the state by tax laws.

If you visit a place or recreation, then the place arrives ... those places are of course built by the central government with the taxes we pay so the point is that taxes are compulsory '.

The reason you should pay taxes to the government is that when you live in a community, you should make a donation to the tax community as a form of donation and the government will use that money to They can pay wages and do other welfare work

paying taxes is an awareness of the community, I myself realize that by paying taxes means we help the development of the country to be better, one thing that must be overcome in my country is only corruption and many assets are sold to foreign countries.

Maybe there are some reasons I pay taxes, for example, as I realize that taxes are very mandatory for all good citizens and if for example there are some people who do not want to pay taxes, maybe those who do not know the rules

Man is social.  We are responsible towards society.  One of our social responsibilities is to share the burden of the society well beings.  As stated by the OP roads; transports; education; above all security are the services which Governments need to be assured to the people of respective countries.
For meeting above expenditure they need funds.  Taxes are only resources available with the governments.

So it is our responsibility to pay taxes honestly to help governments provide above facilities.

But it is not so simple.  Everything is not happening in such a great manner.  Dishonest corrupt leaders / officers have been diverting the funds to their own pockets instead of using it for public welfare.  Billions of dollars have been stolen by these corrupts.  And the public even after paying taxes has been deprived of the benefits they deserve.

After seeing corrupt leaders officers; traders too have started them.  They are always busy finding the ways how to cheat the government by non payment of taxes.  

So a vicious circle of corruption has started.  Only honest leaders can save the countries from the clutches of these corrupts.

Indians are lucky who have found Mr. Narender Modi as their PM.  After his taking over the seat of Prime Minister things have started changing.  Corruption at higher levels has been controlled though may not ended.  If Mr Modi is in power for few more years; the picture of India will be some different.

So by quoting above example I just want to say that taxes if paid, collected, utilized honestly; can really make this earth a beautiful heaven.

Tax gets misused many times like funding NASA "planet mars mission". There are more meteorite hits on Mars than on Earth but they are spending tax payers multi-million dollars on Mars missions. Wasteful government expenditure of the governments must be cancelled by the taxpayers.
In my opinion, it is better to invest in studying the planet Mars, than on an endless arms race and permanent local conflicts, and even global wars.
And taxes still have to pay, nowhere we will not get away from it. If we refuse to pay taxes in bulk, it will be even worse. Then we will have to defend ourselves against armed gangs, if everything collapses and anarchy reigns.

Tax services should be reformed to make it more flexible to reduce defaulters and tax back directly. It is also important to know that paying our taxes makes us better citizens, helping build a stronger nation for its citizens and the future generation that will follow. Though tax evasion is considered unlawful, there are means which can be developed to resolve such acts without having to get to court. However, a stitch in time saves nine.

In every country it is mandated by the government to pay taxes and it is indicated in the government law. If we do not pay taxes the government might sue us for not paying the taxes and the surgers and penalties are even much higher.

Taxes are good, we truly need them to be able to live in a country, where it is worth to live. However, our government for example steals so shamelessly, while others live from a very low budget. So it is not an easy topic.

To developed countries government required money where we give them via paying taxes.
Ever know why some government is looking to banned cryptocurrencies? Because the government needs money where we spend them while buying something if we use cryptocurrencies we won't pay any taxes.

Taxation is theft. "But who will build the roads" argument is really old and dumb, people are not some stupid monkeys who can't figure out things if no one guides them, there's nothing that can not be done privately and through voluntary cooperation (which is the same as privately). Roads, military, science and so on - all of it can and is done privately around the world. Government is exactly why Bitcoin was invented - you can't trust people with power and believe that they will do as they've promised, and even well-meaning leaders do stupid mistakes that cost billions. Just like Bitcoin have decentralized economy, some day people will decentralize power to the point when every individual will be independent from others.

Organization of the people! That's not as hard as we think it is. When there's a huge need for something, people get together and help each other. Taxation is theft, and is more so in some countries than others. When multiple ministers of a particular country in the middle east got caught with shoe boxes full of money buried under their lawns, the peasants said "They work hard, they deserve it". Ignorance.

In my own country, the tax is defined as a tax that is a particular measure by which the state uses its power to communicate the private sector to the public sector for its socio-economic functions. governments. From a taxpayer perspective, taxes are defined as the number of compulsory contributions that every organization or individual has to pay to the state in accordance with the law in order to meet the need for expenditures for the performance of functions and duties. of the state, taxpayers can legally enjoy the remaining income.
This is called the progressive taxation and you are taxed according to the rise in your income. Besides, this is something that the state has to rely on if the economy is not in a very good shape.

It actually shrinks the gap between rich and poor of a country and has been a good portion of the GDP of almost all the countries except Dubai where it accounts to only one percent of the total GDP. In countries like Norway, taxation contributes up to 30% to the GDP. This is the reason why the living standards have been so high in countries like these.

Dubai's an example of how rich will always rule from their almighty position because they have such high standards to enter their level of living. They continue to separate themselves by widening the gap so they will always be untouchable up there.

If you are walking on the road and enjoying a nice day at the nearby park it's all because someone paid their taxes.
Taxes helps a lot , I have seen people frowning over about how they don't want to pay any taxes and as such.
Government ensures that if you earn over a certain amount then for sure you can contribute in the making of your country. It's only if you are able to.
Taxes helps in :

    Paying the salary of government employees
    Making of roads
    Public schools
    Parks run by the government
    Maintenance fees
    Making government hospitals
    Making high schools ... The list is endless

We all use all these services at one part of the life or other therefore we can just consider it a little payment for that .
People frown how government is corrupt , it is but not entirely if it was then you woont see new projects coming up in your town or city.

It's just our responsibility to pay taxes, we shouldn't run from it because it will more or so be used for everyone out there in your country , you are indirectly helping others too through paying them , the less advantageous ones.

Also one might say government can print all the money they need , but that's not the case ..the more money a government prints the lower the value of their currency gets which genrally have adverse effects in many sectors.
Well honestly, paying tax will help our co citizen in their lives. Taxes are made to support the economy and also the status of each people living in a particular country. But sometimes taxes is not govern so well so the tendency is that those official take their power to abuse it by getting the taxes .

in theory for paying taxes everything seems quite utopic and makes sense. In reality those taxes are not used for those pure reasons and are being distributed unfairly to fill some pockets.

as good citizens we are obliged to pay taxes. even a person can be called a hero when he has paid taxes. taxes are the source of state income used for the administration such as paying civil servants and building roads and bridges. but many cases, especially in countries with low levels of education such as my country, these tax funds are not used for the public interest, but for the interests of certain groups, the tax funds are corrupted.
I don't mind paying taxes, but on the condition that my tax payments would go to help the people. The state constantly introduces even more aggressive tax rate. All this reminds me of the movie "Time", which starring Justin Timberlake. An interesting film, I advise you to watch!

Assessments are vital if a legislatures need to work so on the off chance that somebody is deceiving while at the same time paying the charges then he will be rebuffed with lawful actions.In digital forms of money a large portion of the general population are not paying duties and even numerous administrations don't have appropriate expenses for its use that is the reason the legislatures are endeavoring to boycott the utilization since it if proceeds for some time then it will cause prudent fiasco in that nation.
