I have to pay tax when flushing the toilet?
Yes, but that's in Maryland USA. In 2004, the government charges taxes for toilet flushing that exceed the permitted limits to control water usage. The tax amount is $ 5 per month. The money collected from the toilet flush tax will be used for the development of sewage treatment system.

Fast forward 2017, it was reported that the sewage treatment system funded by the flush tax has improved the water condition of Chesapeake Bay in Maryland.
It doesn't hurt to pay weird taxes when you see improvements and results, yes? With or without this tax in the Philippines, flush your toilet responsibly.
