Tax resistance is probably as old as taxes themselves.
Sad but true.  Tax resistance has probably existed ever since rulers began imposing taxes on the people.  Some things never change.
I took an accounting course at school. I didn't think I'd be any good at it, but I came in second in my class! That's awesome! People call accounting the language of business. It is quite interesting. My sister-in-law is an accountant. She works for a big company. Oh, that's cool. Accounting is also sometimes call financial reporting. I found it interesting to learn to work my way around a balance sheet. It's like learning a new language! How interesting! So, accounting includes several fields, like financial, management, tax, and cost accounting, along with external auditing. What's your favorite? Auditing! Another friend of mine is an auditor in Europe. She loves striking fear in the hearts of others, lol. So, an auditor is someone who checks financial statements to determine if their stated fairly and within accounting standards, correct? Pretty much. People shouldn't be afraid of getting audited, but so many businesses try to avoid taxes and go overboard.
