Local governments do indeed charge some fees and so does the Waterboard, the electricity supplier, the solicitor, the property registry, etc, etc, but this are fees for service not taxes.

A tax is a levy collected for general government services. A fee is levy collected to provide a service that benefits the group of people from which the money is collected.

Hi infose

I come from a real life world and your naive comments sound suspiciously like those of a public servant or student

ALL fees are taxes, to issue a fee for permission to build a front fence for instance do not provide any sort of service they are just income to pay for an over abundance of public servants
