It doesn't make sence to me.
I'm receiving my salary and I don't pay any taxes?
Who is paying these 5% tax and how?

I told you there is no income tax meaning that when u get ur salary there is no tax on that
but like the products u are buying from supermarkets an shops an stuff they got an automatic 5% tax on it.

Even when you buy the pirated DVDs?

no actually on the pirated DVD there a strict tax of a 100% cause i remember i use to by them for 5 dhs only but now they be selling it for 10 Dhs so thats like a 100% tax right there u know wat i mean.

damnn im mean all these tax paying is getting to me cause im working to pay taxes that feeds the police but then the police aint satisfied with the taxes im giving them they keep on finining me with all these bullshit new laws of theres this a taragedy surely insanity.

i mean look at the cops how fat some of them are they cant even run an the mutha fuckers r all just feeding off me.

Oracleson,

As a US citizen you are liable to pay tax to the IRS if your annual income exceeds a certain amount, no matter where you live in the world... whether or not you choose to submit your returns to the IRS depends on whether or not you want to play games with them (generally speaking not a good idea!!).
