Governments all over the world impose taxes on their citizenry.  These taxes are imposed with different motives. Taxation is one of the systems of governments which most populace do not understand and hence dislike it.  As the late South African reggae star; Lucky Dube indicated in one of his hit songs, the taxman is the only man people pay without knowing what they are paying for.  Taxation is a necessary tool for every organized society.  In this session we will explain taxation, identify the kinds of tax and examples, mention the importance of taxation and take a look at the features of a good tax system.
