In the past, shopping was a routine domestic task. Many people nowadays regard it as a hobby. To what extent do you think this is a positive trend?

Some people have a belief that income earned by them should not be taxed by the nation, but should

instead

be retained by themselves. I unequivocally disagree with

such

an opinion because non-payment of

tax

results in severe damage to welfare facilities, and it

also

increases inequality. The

first

reason for my disagreement is that, without the payment of

tax

, there would be terrible welfare facilities

such

as poor infrastructure, appalling medical services, and inferior education.

This

is because these are dependent on revenue generated by the government. Lower

tax

collection results in a shortage of money and, as a consequence, running, maintaining, and improving social amenities becomes challenging.

For example

, the United States of America reported

last

year that its highway projects, meant for easing congestion, had to be discontinued due to a lack of sufficient funds. A

further

reason is that non-collection of

tax

means the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. The fundamental objective of

tax

collection is to collect money from the rich and distribute it among the poor by way of welfare schemes. Not doing so reduces the funds available to the state, driving lower-income people to spend more money on basic necessities, which

further

lowers their income.

For instance

, a study from the University of Dubai revealed that inequality increased by 23% in the year 2019 compared to 2018 in Gulf nations due to the lack of a taxation system. In conclusion, I firmly believe that

non-collection

of taxes by the administration leads to severe consequences socially and,

therefore

, people should change their attitude towards funds and

tax
