    I don’t think I got that free trial. Where I live, pretty much everyone pays taxes regardless of their age.

      When you were 5, you personally paid a yearly income tax of some kind?

      Stuff like VAT or sales tax, which you probably weren’t paying either, don’t count since they were talking about yearly taxes.

        Child actors and actresses pay income tax. Children who work in family businesses often make a wage and are taxed on that.

            Family businesses aren’t unlikely where I’m from. I worked in multiple family businesses. Generally they are right- not even kids get a free lunch anymore. Even as kids we don’t get a free trial.

      Technically yes, but did you go to work to earn money to pay taxes as a child?

        No. But technically speaking, ididnbgo to work to earn money to pay taxes as an adult either. So I’m not sure where this line of questioning is going.

          How did you pay taxes as a child if you didn’t earn anything?
