Panama is a country where taxes are paid less in relation with the others. E.E.U.U has to pay a tax of 7% for general articles and 1 % for food and medicines but they have higher salaries. Panamanians pay consume taxes of 5% for cars, cloth, fast food, and movie, and additional tax for everything they buy, excluding things for school and medicines, unlike a few years ago when this tax were no paid. But the salary of the population is fewer, too.
