What Are Taxes?
Taxes are mandatory contributions levied on individuals or corporations by a
local, regional, or national government entity. Tax revenues finance
government activities, including public works and services such as roads and
schools or Social Security and Medicare programs.

In economics, taxes fall on whoever pays the tax burden, whether this is the
entity being taxed, such as a business, or the end consumers of the business’s
goods. From an accounting perspective, there are various taxes to consider,
including payroll taxes, federal and state income taxes, and sales taxes.
History Of The Tax Industry
The first federal income tax was created in 1861 during the Civil War as a
mechanism to finance the war effort (President Abraham Lincoln signed the
bill into law). In addition, Congress passed the Internal Revenue Act in 1862,
which made the Bureau of Internal Revenue a predecessor to the modern-day
IRS.

Understanding Taxes
To help fund public works and services—and to build and maintain the
infrastructure used in a country—a government usually taxes its individual
and corporate residents. The tax collected improves the economy and all
living in it.

In the United States and many other countries in the world, income taxes are
applied to some form of money received by a taxpayer. The money could be
income earned from salary, capital gains from investment appreciation,
dividends or interest received as additional income, payments made for goods
and services, and so on.

Most governments use an agency or department to collect taxes. In the United


States, this function is performed federally by the Internal Revenue Service
(IRS).

Types of Taxes
 Income Tax
Income tax: a percentage of generated income that is relinquished to the state

who pays it to the government on the employee’s behalf to fund Medicare

 Corporate Tax

government to fund federal programs
 Sales Tax
Sales tax: taxes levied on certain goods and services; varies by jurisdiction
 Property Tax
