I'd been putting off doing my taxes until some of the rage I felt toward the government for trying to destroy my business during covid subsided. It's not going anywhere though and now inflation has kicked in, rates are up and I'm stuck adding up my receipts and wondering why the fuck I'm paying tax anyway since the government thinks it's no biggie to just print as much money as they want.

Because the government loves to tax things it wants to disincentivise, like smoking, drinking, and income
They can print money , but they also want you on a hamster wheel.
Sorry to hear about the disruption to your business, its a familiar story, and it's unforgivable.
