Another tax is paid on goods such as watches，jewellery，new clothes，tobacco，wine，etc.，when they are brought into a country，such a tax is paid as part of the price of these goods if they are later sold in shops.We call it “indirect” tax，because it is paid indirectly through the shopkeeper.

　　People usually complain about having to pay taxes，but they forget that the money is spent on the things that they and their families need.We need policemen to catch thieves，to see that men obey the laws，to direct traffic，etc.，and they must be paid what they earn; children need education and there must be schools and teachers; we want our streets to be kept clean，and the wages of men who do this kind of work have to be paid.Above all，the country must always be ready to defend itself against attacking enemies，and we cannot have an army without paying for it.

　　Taxes，therefore，cannot be avoided.We buy our own food and clothes and pay for our own amusements，but there are several things that the State finds the money for，and that are necessary for us if our society is to continue.So we have no real cause to complain when we are asked to supply money to be spent for the good of ourselves and for our fellow-citizens.

　　5. Indirect tax means________.

　　A．tax that one pays direct to the government

　　B．tax that is not paid directly to the government
