What happens if I don’t pay tax?
Imagine if everyone in your class was asked to give one of their favourite games to the school, for all the children to play with. If you gave one of your games, but others in your class didn’t, what would you think?
When everyone pays tax, everyone benefits.
Some people try to escape paying the tax they owe. This is called ‘fraud’ and/or ‘evasion’.
Would you want a life without tax?
No tax would mean less security and culture, fewer roads, hospitals, schools, museums, public libraries and buses, and less clean water, etc.
