Do people pay taxes in Antarctica?

No, there are no taxes in Antarctica. Antarctica is a continent without a permanent population, and it is not governed by any single country. Instead, it is governed by the Antarctic Treaty, which was signed in 1959 and has been ratified by 54 countries. The treaty sets aside Antarctica as a scientific preserve and prohibits any military activity or mineral exploitation. It also establishes a consultative process for decision-making, which involves the countries that have signed the treaty.
