1  Tax is a financial issue and its payment is a civil duty. It is the imposition of a financial burden for the government on individual firm and companies.  In  general  based,  the  word  tax  means  any  contribution imposed by the government upon individual and companies for the use of government to provide facilities or services as rendered by the state. It is not a voluntary payment or donation but an enforced contribution made on the pronouncement or directive of legislative authorities.
