Taxes

Hi,

Assuming tax collection is done in a law-abiding manner (as opposed to random taxation by a private person who has bought the right of taxation from the government), one is not allowed to cheat on his taxes, whether the government is Jewish or non-Jewish. Cheating on one's taxes constitutes theft, as well as desecration of Gd's Name.

(Code of Jewish Law Choshen Mishpat 369:6)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
