    Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

    (Fatwa: 376/388/B=5/1438)

    The government shall be responsible for spending your tax and you shall not be sinful for it. Further, you pay income tax only owing to legal compulsion, hence Allah shall not question you about it.

    Allah (Subhana Wa Ta'ala) knows Best
