If the taxes applied are considered irrational and excessive, in my opinion it constitutes theft, more precisely legal theft. However, even though sometimes we feel burdened by these taxes, we still cannot refuse not to pay taxes. Because taxes are coercive.

Taxes do have an important role in increasing the income of a region or country, which will later be used for the construction of public facilities. However, it is very unfortunate that if the tax results are applied to every sector, the benefits of the tax itself are still not felt by society at large. So it is quite natural that some of them feel unwilling to pay taxes. Not to mention the addition of corruption cases that often occur in the government realm, which can make someone even more lazy and reluctant to pay taxes. But once again, we cannot refuse to pay taxes, because otherwise we might be subject to fines or be entangled by the applicable regulations.
