The correct answer is to provide goods and services for the public

The Tax is a mandatory tax levied by the government. This means that it is an amount you pay and contributes to defray the state's administrative expenses. Failure to pay can result in fines and even legal punishment.

Looking this way it looks like something bad. But if you think about it, without collecting taxes, no country in the world would be able to return services and benefits to the population. It is as if you are investing in the government so that it can take care of its basic services (health, education, security, housing, public transport).
