Sourced facts about a country's tax system: when and why its GST/VAT was introduced, what it replaced, and memorable, true stories (court cases, elections, odd rulings) — each fact linked to its own source. Omit country for a primer on what a consumption tax is plus famous tax stories from history. Pass topic to keep only facts about one tax (each fact lists its topics). Use it for background, explainers, teaching or a conversation opener; for any rate or amount use tax_rate_lookup, compute_gst_vat or the estimate tools, because facts are dated stories, not live figures. Countries without curated facts return the list of countries that have them rather than an invented one.
