What is tax payment?

Tax payment, that is, the implementation process of taxpayers in tax collection, is to pay a part of collective or individual income to the state in accordance with the provisions of various national tax laws and a certain proportion.

Tax reasons

Taxation is a form in which the state distributes social products by virtue of political power or public power. Taxation is a form of distribution that meets the needs of the public; Taxation has the characteristics of indirect repayment (free of charge), compulsory obligation (compulsory) and legal norm (fixed).

The essence of taxation is a special distribution relationship formed by the state collecting goods or currency from economic units and individuals without compensation according to law. This distribution relationship reflects the economic relationship and interest relationship between the state and various classes and strata. It is embodied in the following aspects: the main body of distribution is the state, which is the distribution relationship based on state power; The object of distribution is social surplus products. No matter who pays taxes, all tax sources come from the national income created by the workers in that year or the social wealth accumulated in previous years. The purpose of distribution is to serve the realization of state functions; The result of distribution is bound to benefit the ruling class, but not the ruled class, because taxation always serves the interests of the ruling class. Different social and economic systems and different national nature determine the different nature of taxation in different countries.

Why pay taxes?

Paying taxes is the duty of every citizen. Paying taxes means that every citizen gives a certain proportion of his property to the tax authorities, and then the government relies on this money to carry out military, diplomatic and economic construction and pay the salaries of government officials.

The country with the highest tax collection in the world is Sweden, with a tax rate as high as 565,438+0.9% of national income, which means that more than half of everyone's income has to be taxed. ?

Another important source of Swedish tax revenue is the consumption tax on tobacco and alcohol. Because the taxes on alcohol and tobacco are high and the price of alcohol is insanely high, businessmen can make money. A bottle of French red wine costs 200 Swedish kronor in Sweden.

Sweden has the highest tax revenue and the best welfare in the world. Even if you are sick at home, you can still get 90% of your salary. It costs nothing to go to school and see a doctor. When you are old, you will get the support of the country. People who don't work can receive 60,000 kroons of social assistance every month. So many Swedes are too lazy to go to work because they have to pay more than 50% tax for hard work. ?
