Thus

,

this

essay will examine the importance of paying taxes and other civic obligation

that is

equally important. Taxation plays an important role in the

development

of the

society

. It has made it possible for the

government

to realise their social and economic goals.

For example

, over eighty percent of the

government

internally generated revenue comes from the personal income tax, and the larger proportion of

this

revenue generated are used to provide infrastructural facilities

such

as free health services, construction of roads and schools. In my opinion, there is no doubt that failure on the part of the people to fulfil their duties of paying tax would impede the

development

of the

society

.
