Who wants to pay the portion of his earnings as tax. But when we begin to earn, in a good lifestyle the tax becomes an integral part of our lives.
It’s not that we are forced to pay the taxes to the government for no reason. Government doesn’t take the tax just to fill their treasures. The tax paid by us in turn makes our life better and improve our quality of life.

There are few places which impose tax for the ones who doesn’t smoke and also there are few weird places which offer the tax rebate on sex toys purchase.
