i think collecting value added tax is acceptable since the tax collected is used for different government services and projects... but i think vat should be kept in the minimum, in the philippines, we have 12% vat, that's huge... imagine eating at a restaurant then when you receive your bill, you can see 12% vat + 10% service charge, it's an automatic 22% addition to your original bill...
