The main purpose of taxation is to fund government operations and services. Taxes are collected from individuals and businesses to finance public services such as education, healthcare, infrastructure, and defense.
The factors that affect tax calculation include income, deductions, exemptions, filing status, and tax credits. These factors can vary depending on an individual's or business's financial situation and can impact the amount of taxes owed.
Income is typically taxed based on the tax bracket an individual falls into. Tax brackets are based on income levels and range from 10% to 37%. As income increases, so does the tax rate.
Deductions are expenses that can be subtracted from an individual's taxable income, thus reducing the amount of taxes owed. Exemptions are a set amount that can be deducted from an individual's income for themselves and their dependents.
Tax credits are a dollar-for-dollar reduction in the amount of taxes owed. They can be based on various factors such as income, education, or energy-efficient purchases. Tax credits can significantly reduce the amount of taxes owed and may even result in a tax refund.
