In our country greater taxes. The money received by the state from citizens in the form of taxes as we know are strongly plundered. Whether is Charitable business the direction for charitable needs of money which are hidden by Christians from taxes?

Your post doesn't make sense, however I agree with SinnerSaved. As a Christian our obligation is to pay taxes and to tithe

Romans 13:3-"Authority is not to cause fear of evil but to urge obedience in righteousness. Do you want rest from authority regardless the source? Don’t insist on one’s priorities and you will have the praise of all 4 for[you will be]a minister of[these gifts] to all your benefit. But if you are bitter and selfish, be afraid for with bitterness comes the discipline of the Spirit for he is a minister, avenger and rewarder of the wrath of God to those who practices evil. 5 Therefore, it’s necessary to curb our natural tendency to wrath and minister to the body for conscience' sake. 6 Because of this [gifting], you will pay taxes to proclaim your rulers are servants of God and are obedient to authority. 7 Render to all what is due them; tax to whom tax is due, consideration to custom, respect the office of authority and, honor what is right regardless of who proclaims it. 8 Owe nothing except mutual sacrifice for one another for in this you and your neighbor are fulfilling the law [of sacrifice].
Allegiance is for God alone but be careful, remember the three children in Daniel 2. Rulers, good and bad, are ordained by God and 'they' are responsible for administration or excess not us. 'They' are accountable not us.

Yes we should pay taxes. If taxes were not paid then the buses that I take would be no more.
