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.

It is common that there are always discussions and tensions between the necessity of taxes and the frustration with how they are sometimes used. Taxes would be felt like legalized theft if those are prevailed with Irrational or excessive obligations. Taxes are supposed to fund public services that benefit the populace of the country. There are common concern about the benefits of taxes when those aren't felt or when corruption diverts funds. Commonly people desire to avoid burdens, and taxes can certainly feel like a burden, this is why resentment is fueled when there are potential corruptions. It's impossible to refuse taxes entirely, but people can advocate for tax reform to increase transparency in government spending.
