Tax avoidance is a terrible act and it is punishable by law in many countries. However, what would you say about tax evasion? Do you find ways to evade paying tax in your country?
What's your view on tax evasion?

People should be thrown out of the country or really penalize them if they are rich.

Tax evasion is not a crime in most countries.
I have never heard any country where it's not. Where do you think it's not a crime?

It is simply manipulating the system to favor you or your business.
Just scheming on how not to pay it when due.

I strongly doubt that it involves not paying the whole tax. That's tax avoidance and can be punished by law.

There are businesses that cannot survive when the IRS goes after them. Even before they have to pay for their help it isn't easy. Some things I disagree with in tax law there is double taxing people who buy new cars and then used, and using that money for prisons for people who do heinous crimes, police in low-crime areas, not for policing crimes because they are racist, and all of that higher up taxes just for working because the government is spending in areas that should never be spent on.

I believe there are people and businesses that evade paying taxes based on these reasons too. They have this mindset that the government are not spending tax payers money well and in the right sectors and we can't blame them for thinking that way.
The big guys still find a way to avoid punishment.

I don't like greedy people who evade paying tax because most tax evaders are using or used government services like public parks and community centers which are funded by taxes, but they refuse to pay their taxes which is needed to hire workers to maintain government services like parks and community centers.

That can happen in a corrupt system, mate.
It's exactly what we have had for years. A big time corrupt government system.

Coup d'etat happening in neighboring countries. I feel so angry about all of these.
It's like the one that went down in Niger.

That is the failure of politicians in doing the right thing.
I hope the military in power now run the country well.

The sad situation is that you can never trust the military to do the right thing as a democratic government could do.
