Professional experience than can help you succeed

Can you believe that Woolly Mammoths were still alive when tax bills were first issued? Taxation has existed in various forms since civilization began! The earliest known tax records, dating from approximately six thousand years B.C., were in the form of clay tablets found in the ancient city-state of Lagash, which is in modern day Iraq.
