Payment of tax is mandatory in UK.

Payment of tax in our country is mandatory. Everyone is supposed to pay tax, whether they are employed in companies or they have their own businesses. So many people fail to understand this and they end up on the wrong side of the law, because it is illegal not to pay tax in our country. Those who are receiving unemployment benefits for instance because they have lost their jobs for one reason or another, will still submit their tax returns to the government's tax department because they will still be required to pay their taxes. Those who still ask 'do i claim unemployment on my taxes' should be given a stern NO. This is because the tax department is mandated to get tax from everyone in this country, whether they have lost their jobs or not. Those who have no source of income at all can be exempted, but as soon as they get a job or an alternative source of income, they will pay tax like everyone else. We need to pay tax in order to witness developments in our country.
