We might enjoy buying dinner for friends or treating ourselves to a nice massage, but when it comes to paying taxes and rent it's probably an entirely different feeling. Well actually in Chinese we use another verb 缴／交 for these annoying payments. Check out this video lesson on the differences between 付，缴 and 交. We've also included an extended explanation for upper-int advanced learners at the end of the show. https://chinesepodtv.wistia.com/medias/hjme8r2n6v
