Topic: Why are people scared of taxes? - page 4. (Read 31541 times)
I am not scared of taxes. What I really concern is the taxes I paid is not used on my family and the place I live. The tax may goes to many unreasonable ways. I don't want my money wasted. For example, I paid a lot of taxes, but my kids cannot get good education, and the road outside my house is so broken. So where is my money going to?
Tax are knocking in your pocket every time you have an income as long as it is inline to the business partnership with the government. Not scared but just hiding and keep silent. Tax is necessary to help the government to improve the infrastructures, buildings, whatever the government projects. How much more if everyone contributes to have tax and pay it regularly.
Tax is unnecessary in necessary needs like Emergency. This kind of situation makes you to be scared to pay taxes. Because sometimes tax is bigger than your expenses. Really this feels you scared although this is wrong. Most of the times tax is in everything you needs such as foods,clothes,shelter, and many many more.

People are not afraid of taxes, they are angry at governments because they have their money taken without services provided (which is what taxes are meant for)
I would be happy to pay even more than half of my gains in taxes if I can have guaranteed a lot of services

I think people are not afraid, we are just being aware on where the government will spend the money from us. Because government is failed the expectations of people many times.
It is the duty of the government to inform and take consent from the tax payers before the tax revenues are used for classified causes such as warfare. Here in India, there is a lack of transparency on how the tax money is being spent, and even the change of the government in 2014 hasn't helped much in this regard.
Taxes are really great and very helpful when you run a country. It just happen that the people handling the funds is very corrupt. It would really great to see where your taxes go, but as of now we can't blame people if they don't want to pay anymore. We only wished to see our money to go right projects and see the improvements as well since this is our money that we worked so hard for days and nights.

One word. Greed. They don't want to give up their gains. The housing market crashed because a lot of people didn't want to be taxed and they kept reinvesting and they couldn't even afford what they were buying in the first place. I think holding to pay less is okay but not to get rid of completely.
Hmm.. you are probably living on welfare benefits and may not have worked for a living ever in your life. With regards to the taxes, we don't have a problem in paying them as long as they meet certain conditions. These are:
1. Everyone must pay the taxes
2. The tax rates must be affordable
As long as these conditions are not met, I would advice people against paying any taxes.
Because taxes only get stolen by corrupt officials and people hate the idea of working all day just to make these fat bastards live the comfortable life.
I don't know why ppl are always scared of paying taxes.
taxes are actually a great thing but only if everyone pays them and if they are spend on useful things only. Just look out your window and you will see lots of things paid with your taxes you use everyday.

Yes, if they use all the money for the community and not for personal interest or super debt payments. My country has an enormous debt and uses almost 60% of taxes to pay it
In my opinion people are not afraid of taxes, but if you cant see any progress, development or even a slight improvement in your community then people will wonder where are their hard earned money going. That's where the corrupt official comes in, in our country before a project will start there's a lot of people who will get a commission from that project or a lot of deductions and then at the end of it no project will start at all because the money was already spent by these corrupt individuals. Is this fair? If you are one of the tax payers?
No people scared with taxes. It so happen that taxes are too much high and the service of the government using the money of the community most of the time is questionable. It is not good to hear and see if the fruit of your labor goes to nothing.
It is our duty to pay taxes no matter what the reason we have. Government moves smoothly because of taxes, without it government would have a hard time dealing with the needs of the country. The result of it will always affect the citizens.
Too many infrastructures and other projects, services are going on day by day because of taxes, imagine if the one of those needs to halt its operation because of lack of budget.

The answer is simple, it is money taken away from your pocket and you don't really know were it will be spent. Citizens can only assume where their taxes go. You might be living in a great country were you will see that the taxes you paid was worth it. It is not the same situation in other countries. Taxes are great if the government was using it right. It is an obligation of every citizen but others are just making money out of it. That is the reason why others chose to avoid paying tax and keep the money for themselves. We are paying tax in everything that we purchase anyway. taxes are actually a great thing but only if everyone pays them and if they are spend on useful things only. Just look out your window and you will see lots of things paid with your taxes you use everyday.

Because it lessen the salary BIGTIME and most of the government official are not using it properly. But yes it is helps in otherway it's because some of them are nice people anyway. I'm a scholar so I can say it can help us in the other way but it can't be helped that in a basket of fruits some are really rotten or have a worm in it.

for me having a family business we got to pay a huge amount of taxes, taxes that most of the time is not being used by the country but being corrupted by government officials. sometimes they also make the taxes doubled just to have more money to corrupt.
People scared of paying taxes because the higher their business and their salary income the more they get to pay... lessen their money and sometimes their doubtful of what and where would they money be, is it worth? or sometimes they thought of giving to charity instead of paying taxes because they saw the immediate result of what they give rather than giving it to the government whom sometimes politician corrupt.
because according to some people pay taxes can reduce income .. in taxes paid for the community itself ... for the development of a region or country
I am afraid of tax because i want to get my husband's salary full without any deductions from the government. If i do have a choice, i don't want him to pay taxes at all. 
We know deep down they will get what they want.However as a tax paper
you have the right to only pay the correct amount of tax.
