I'm working under a small time refrigeration contractor, the pay is good for me and my wife.
Now we'll be having a baby soon, which we're very happy and excited about. But then we need to make extra income, so we started our own small business.
Tiangge, or a small retails store. Since we opened it, it was earning barely enough to give us extra savings for our coming baby. Then our Government decided to charge us Unfair Taxes because they couldn't get taxes from big businesses, which are owned by their SO-CALLED FRIENDS. They're charging us Php 150.00 (USD 3.00) per day, though we're just earning roughly Php 25.00(USD 0.50) a day. It's robbery...
I'm paying the right taxes as an employee of a refrigeration contractor, and I was paying the right taxes as retail store owner until our Government decided to up the taxes by more than 100%. How can I make an extra money now that our Government wants to take more than we could pay? They are also threatening us for a criminal offense if we couldn't pay what they are charging us.
It's BLOODY UNFAIR.... Now I shall be closing my business, because it really is impossible to pay what they are asking from us.
What would be a good business then to make extra money if I only have a little capital to start a new one without our Darn Government robbing us? I don't go too far to do illegal business. I want to make extra money in a legal way.
DARN BLOODY UNFAIR TAXES!!!

Wow! That is horrible, I'm so sorry to hear that!!
Have you considered starting a business online? Possibly selling your items on an ecommerce site of your own, or maybe eBay?
There are some free ecomm sites that work too, such as ecrater.
But I wonder if you would end up in the same position you're in now when it came to filing your taxes.
What a bad deal...Hope everything works out for you!
