A tax is an involuntary fee or, more precisely, "unrequited payment", paid by individuals or businesses to a
government (central or local). Taxes may be paid in cash or kind (although
payments in kind may not always be allowed or classified as taxes in all systems). The means of taxation, and the uses to which
the funds raised through taxation should be put, are a matter of hot dispute in politics and economics, so discussions of taxation are frequently
tendentious.
