It’s not the most fun subject to talk about, but it’s an important one – tax. If you have a part-time or casual job, even while you’re still a student, chances are you’ll need to know about tax.

But what even is tax? Think of it this way. Tax is a small amount of money that gets taken off your pay. The government uses this money to provide important services and infrastructure, like roads, hospitals, and even schools – put simply, tax improves our quality of life.
