How do Amish people handle taxes differently from others?
Amish pay income taxes, property taxes and sales taxes like U.S. citizens, but not Social Security and Medicare taxes, A. The basis of this exemption is on the basis of religious beliefs and adherence to self reliance. Amish don't accept the government assistance programs, instead they get health care from their community and financial aid in times when they need money. However, the result of this exemption is that the Amish continue to make their taxes, otherwise, the Amish would not fulfill their civic responsibilities while preserving their traditional lifestyle.
