Taliban taxation system

The Taliban’s taxation system involves collecting funds from individuals, businesses, and local entities to generate revenue. They impose taxes on various activities such as trade, agriculture, and transportation, often through informal or administrative means. These taxes are sometimes enforced through local councils or tribal mechanisms, and the rates can vary based on the region and economic activity. While they aim to fund governance and military operations, the system is often criticized for lacking transparency and fairness, and in some cases, it involves coercion or extortion.
