The news headline uses an ironic expression to comment on the tax burden. The expression "minimum service" is normally associated with strikes, where workers ensure only essential services. The subtitle indicates that the tax burden advances without delays, suggesting that taxation continues to progress without obstacles. The phrase "without the need for an appointment" reinforces the idea that this fiscal advancement does not require prior scheduling, contrasting with the appointment requirement that exists for other public services. The implicit message is that, unlike other public services that face difficulties, taxation continues to progress steadily.
