They typically dont pay taxes because they dont normally earn much, under the amount of the Basic Personal Tax Credit, but anyone, regardless of age, is required to report income earned and pay any required taxes.

Yeah, I know that’s why they’re not paying taxes, but there is some semblance of common sense here. If you’re not an adult, should you be involved in those decisions?
I don’t think it comes down to intelligence either. A lot of people aren’t very smart despite their life experience!
