Question
Is there a halachic obligation to pay municipal tax? And is it permissible to change details to receive a discount?
Answer
Shalom Rav,
Municipal tax is primarily a complete obligation, based on the law of the city's residents who compel each other for the needs of the city.
In general, it is forbidden to lie. On a personal level, it is advisable to consult with a rabbi and present him with the relevant details.
