Taxes have a rich history, dating back to ancient civilizations. The earliest recorded taxes can be traced to Mesopotamia around 3000 BC, where citizens would pay a tax in the form of goods or labor. Ancient Egyptians also levied taxes to fund projects like the pyramids. Over time, various societies adopted tax systems to generate revenue for governance and public services.
