Alivia Stephens · Answer 1

Taxation is when the government put tax funds on the citizens and certain business corporations. So basically your just paying money to the government through tax. So it's definitely not A nor D. So your left with choice C and B. But the correct answer choice is B because your not paying for penalties

Simeon Cummings · Answer 2

I'm leaning more towards B.

Taxation is basically charging an individual or business a certain amount of money (usually based on income, but not always). The government is the one collecting the taxes.
