But looking further into WHY do we dislike paying taxes, I can see its because of the government's inability to plan things effectively, and the corruption of the many officials.

Agreed.

Charity is giving away what you need, not what you have to.

I NEED money. We all do. So does taxation qualify as charity ? I am giving it away under the ASSUMPTION it will be used to benefit my fellow man.
In a country like India where resources are not allocated properly (If I were tax payer) I'd keep my money for myself.
Why ? Because I know (this isnt an assumption) that the Indian Government is built on bureaucracy and stupidity.
Our political system sucks big time. In India you can be elected minister if you are a good actor and can fire speeches at a crowd of expectant poor people - they will support you because at least you give them hope.
This is the state of our affairs - this is the same country predicted to become a Superpower and the same nation with a booming GDP.
We can't even get heavy machinery to a railway crash in time to save people in time. So where did all the money go ?
