Why is it we all have to pay taxes.?

what is taxes? who does it? when is it done? what is the rate of tax in this moment of time?

Answers:
Why? To support goverment functions, and "social" programs. This can include anything from the military to protect our country, to subsidies for child care, to research of why a flea jumps so far.

When is it done? Constantly, always, incessantly.. In payroll taxes, sales taxes, property taxes, corporate taxes, fuel taxes, and on and on and on and on.

What is the rate of taxes at this moment? If you can figure that out, you're doing great. You'd have to find out all the underlying costs associated with all of those taxes, for you individually, combine them, divide them by your total income, and there you have it.

we need someone to make laws and run our economy.so we have to pay someone

tax is a percent of ur income taken by the government for purpose of the social welface. i donno how many do that now a days. it is done every pay time of a person. some countries have tax returns too. rate of tax depends on each place. usually it is around 20%
Supposedly for public services, i.e. what you can get in return such as NHS, education, pension, maternity pay, sick pay, etc. But not sure we are getting a good deal in the UK!
