Taxes are fees paid to the government by its citizens to fund various social services and infrastructure crucial for nation-building and economic growth.

It is also used to fund the government’s operations and finance its development projects.

Being the lifeblood of the government, tax revenue is a critical part of the country’s economic and fiscal policy.

Failure to pay taxes is a criminal offense and the person or entity could be charged with tax evasion.
