Question

Find out from your parents if they pay taxes. If yes, why do they do so and how?

Answer 1

Yes, my parents pay taxes. Taxes are paid to the government so that it can provide public services such as roads, schools, hospitals, defence, transport and other development facilities. Income tax may be deducted directly from salary through TDS, or eligible taxpayers may pay tax while filing their income-tax return. People also pay indirect taxes such as GST when purchasing many goods and services.
