How did taxation come about?
Firstly, do you know the history of taxation? Do you realise that it was brought in to pay for the debt associated with the Second World War? That was supposed to be repealed after that time, but never was, because the government was, of course, by that point, hooked on all the extra income it was making from tax payers.
Since that time, everything has been commercialised and corporatised and, as a result, companies have an obligation to pay tax on money that they earn after expenses, otherwise known as profit. But, what about personal income tax?
When it comes to individuals, the same does not apply. You see, the original taxpayers’ charter clearly says that personal tax is voluntary. It works on a system of voluntary compliance. You can actually download a copy of that Taxpayers Charter here and you can read section 6 on page 23 for yourself.
Now, of course, most people are never told this and believe that they MUST pay tax when, in fact, they do not. If you want to find out more about this, I recommend that you go to You Tube and type in “Income Tax is Voluntary” and you will find a number of videos where the IRS has specifically and publicly declared that paying personal tax is voluntary, and the same principles apply here in Australia…To read more go to Know Your Rights Group https://www.knowyourrightsgroup.com.au/tax/
