This topic isn't about whether or not you like them (go post in the EotW Taxes topic instead) but if you ever had to pay them, and how much? Also, mention the sales tax for your state/country.
This year, my income tax is -114 Euros, which means I'll be getting money soon for the Tax services.
In France, sales tax is 19.6% for most goods and services, 5,5% for most foods, for travels, for most spectacles, and for books, and 2.1% for a few other things (most medications for example).
