I didn't have to pay tax in the country where I lived before. Why do I have to pay it here?

Feeling #10
I feel cheated by the people who understand these things. I don't understand it at all, so I'm not sure that the person who prepares my income tax is doing it the best way for me.

It's not in anyone's interest to cheat you. The people who fill out tax returns for others follow laws that require them to be honest. We have made these activities so that even if you don't fill out your tax return yourself, you will understand what is going on, and not feel cheated.
