What do you think about VAT, is it necessary?

What are your positive or negative thoughts about VAT, is it a necessary thing?
I'm in Turkey and many people here are demanding VAT reduction or abolition.. I disagree with both..

Tax in general is necessary, as it pays for public services. I don't agree with regressive taxes like VAT though. It would be better to increase taxes on income and inheritance instead, and then make sure that the wealthy actually have to pay them, and can't just find a way around it as they currently do.

I do think tax should change a lot. Companies and rich people don't pay enough. Those who can't pay it pay the most. Shifting this away from VAT, inheritance, etc. And towards companies, those that own a lot of capital, etc. Seems better to me.

It's like loading a prepaid credit card for a teenager. If you keep loading it, they'll keep wasting it
