Is it correct/permitted for a muslim brother to work for the revenue offices. 2)Is tax an oppression to us muslims.

1. It is permissible for a Muslim to work in the revenue offices of South Africa.
2. We cannot expect to be citizens of a country and benefit from the services of the government without making a contribution in the form of taxes to the government. The taxes are, therefore, not oppression. Furthermore, the apartheid regime has deprived the indigenous people of South Africa and the Democratic government of South Africa is burderned with a mammoth task of providing basic necessities for the majority of its people.
As a citizen of the country, it is also our responsibility to contribute towards the upliftment of our fellow citizens. Their upliftment is also in our personal interests, safety and security, etc. The present rate of crime is largely due to unemployment and poverty. As Muslims, we should pay the full amount due and also make intention of charity.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
