Unfair/High Tax Burden
Tiny formal base, poor utilization, inflation pressures
The tax system feels unfair when few pay direct income tax, indirect taxes hit everyone, and public services still require private payment.
What keeps this stuck
- Tiny formal income-tax base (~2% pay direct tax; agriculture largely exempt)
- Poor return on tax — paying twice for private health and education
- Heavy reliance on regressive indirect taxes (GST, fuel excise) that feed inflation
Is this a root problem worth fixing first?
