Hey there. Payslips are what we really look forward to every month since this means that we will receive our salary the next day. We are paid once a month not twice a month like other companies (usually given every 15th and last day of the month). But one eyesore with our payslips is the taxes that are deducted from our salary! Its really high! Taxes are good if it is collected well but its so annoying when you know that some if not most of them go directly to crocodile/corrupt government officials! Do you think that the tax you are paying is really worth it? Can you feel its effect in you country?

Hi Jugger, Oh please don't ask me about how my feel about my taxes. LOL. I'm just so glad that I still have some cash left for me after the taxes have been deducted. I hope I can see how much my taxes just like the rest of all the citizens taxes help our country and our economy. Cheers, Honey

You're so right. I hate taxes. I feel that I have been cheated out of my efforts. The government deducts too much taxes from working people and it just sucks. What really annoys me the most is that I am not fully convinced that the money collected from taxes is being used for the development of the country. I hear a lot of news about corrupt and greedy politician stealing the people's money. I really hate it.
