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.
I have nothing left on my salary because of the very low salary even if I don't pay taxes for minimum wage.Nevertheless, I buy some foods which is good for the next salary for me to be able to survive.
