Some people believe that governments must apply high taxes to provide good public services for everyone. Give your opinion.

Tax

rates have been a debatable topic for centuries. Some people think that a high

tax

rate

should be applied by the governments in order to improve the overall local amenities. I agree that a high tariff can be used to improve public services,

however

, there should be a limit on the

tax

rate

. Having a good public service is depending on the taxation revenue of a country.

This

means that if the people of a country pay a high amount of

tax

yearly, we can assure that the general services of that nation

such

as transportation, healthcare, and education, provided will be excellent as the

government

has the fund to maintain

such

services. In German,

for instance

, people are able to access all the health centres without any charges as it is funded by the revenue from taxation.

That is

why governments should have implemented a high

tax

rate

for everyone. There should be a limit,

however

, on how much an individual or company should be taxed.

Although

someone with a higher income should be taxed higher, the

government

must be fair in creating a certain limit of

tax

rate

so that the taxpayers will not be de-motivated and can still continue to work.

This

example can be seen in Singapore, where the motivation index of the taxpayers in paying the

tax

is increased as they are given some incentives by the

government

.

Therefore

, it is essential to create

such

a limitation for all individuals who pay the

tax

. In conclusion,

this

essay discussed why it is good for governments to apply a high

tax

rate

as it improves the quality of the local amenities,

however

, there should be a limitation on the

rate

to be taxed. In my opinion, the

government

should

tax

the people based on their income so that the taxpayers will continue to pay and the public services will

also

be maintained well.
