Best Answer

Income tax is not a voluntary process in any way. Paying tax levied by the government is definitely compulsory. Many people have been jailed for not paying income taxes and this would not have been possible if it was voluntary. There have also been many court cases that have resolved anyone who has tried this type of approach to income taxes.

Sir Thomas White, Minister of Finance, was the man who proposed the "war" income tax.
