Paying Taxes
by Sarah De Capua
Review by Latricia
The book Paying Taxes is about everybody paying taxes and why you have to do it. Did you know that many states charge a lower tax on groceries than other purchases? Everyone has to pay a toll. Homeowners pay taxes for services. For example, this means phone, gas, electric and water bill all have taxes added to them.
There are different types of taxes. There are excise taxes, such as luxury items like jewelry. Also, there are tariff taxes, which are taxes on products that are imported from other countries. Another tariff tax is an export tax, which is also paid on products.
I recommend this book for grades 5 - 10 and ages 9 and up. This author did an excellent job telling about taxes.
Good review, and did you know that the reason we pay taxes is so that we can get public goods and services for "free"?
