Tax is the Government’s way of raising money to pay for a country’s essential services such as schools, hospitals, emergency services, the armed forces, and public transportation. When you pay tax, it’s your contribution to keeping the country running. Usually, you start paying tax when you reach the legal age of 18. Many adults complain of paying too much income tax – this is the tax that you pay to the government before you can claim your pay cheque from your employer. However, businesses pay their taxes differently than employees, and therefore there are many financial incentives to becoming a business owner.
