The purpose of local taxes is to raise money to provide services that individuals cannot access individually. These services may include infrastructure, public safety, education, healthcare, and other essential services that contribute to the overall well-being of the community. By collecting taxes from residents and businesses, local governments are able to fund these services and ensure that the needs of the community are met.
