Yes, we should give Dasvandh to develop selflessness, compassion and to get the blessings of Guru Sahib. We work, take care of our children and do other household chores but this does not help us to develop compassion towards all of humanity. Giving Dasvandh is also Guru Ji’s Hukam (order) so we must follow it. We should also understand that Guru’s Golak (donation box) isn’t just the Gurdwara but it is also the mouth of a poor person.  

Government taxes are different from what we give as Dasvandh. The government takes taxes from us and then makes infrastructures and provides other services to us. Thus, we benefit from those taxes. The income that we get after paying the taxes is our money and we have to take out Dasvandh from that money. This would help us to become selfless.
