I do not avoid paying tax but do invest in such instruments that have tax exemptions such as term deposits. There are a few others that come under 80C. Seniors have a higher income limit for tax dedustions and I am a senior.

The tax collection system is very poor in my country, so many small business owners rarely have to pay tax directly. I plan to do my part though when I have my own business.

If you avoid paying tax, it is a criminal act, even when we buy shares or crypto we are also subject to value added tax, for small entrepreneurs we will also be subject to income tax if we have a turnover above $31k.

I don't avoid paying tax. But I invest money on the things which give tax rebates. I don't like people who cheat system for saving tax.

I can't avoid it since here everything is automated. When you buy something, system automaticly add tax on price. Only if you work without bill. We call that 'on black'. But then you can be reported by competition and fine is very big.

You are right, currently it is difficult for us to avoid tax, especially if we pay using an e-wallet so that the VAT amount will automatically be recorded immediately, whether we eat at a restaurant or just drink coffee at a cafe. All supermarkets and minimarkets have also added VAT to the selling price.

We can do it by giving amount of house rent fake. Many of the people do that here to reduce the amount of their tax.

I invest in instruments where there are tax exemptions and thus I do not have to pay tax.
In my country, if we have a certificate of deposit, time deposits and savings will be subject to income tax on interest of 15%. which will automatically be deducted by the bank so that we only receive net interest.

That makes a lot of sense but tax rate here in Nigeria and it is at a very high rates so there are times when some people do not have a choice done to run away from paying taxes

How much you have to pay depends on your earning. So, you should not worry about paying taxes as they don't charge you a lot of taxes if your earnings are low.

I always make sure that I pay my taxes. I don't want to get into the wrong side of the law. Added to the fact that I am a business person and it would dent my business brand and reputation if I evade tax.
