In my country theres a law that minimum wage earners are exempted to tax thats why we really dont mind the taxes implemented by goverment but theirs VAT when we buy some basic goods And thats ok since its helping my countries economy and my salary left is enough to survive for 1 month and wait another salary date.
yeah although we are exempted to the tax imposed by government to the employees as we are just a minimum wage earner but still we are a taxpayers because of what we called VAT or Value Added Tax yes maybe it could help the economy but I didn't feel it from the past few years .
