Yes, there are definitely historical precedents for zero taxation.

For example, in a Muslim-controlled State, the Muslims do not pay tax, but only pay the mandatory charity levy (“zakaat”) for the poor.

Only non-Muslims, usually Christians, pay personal taxes to the State (“jiziah”).

This is fair for various reasons.

One such reason is that **Christians believe that they should pay tax** to the ruling mafia. Therefore, there rests a religious obligation on the ruling mafia to force them to do so.

Muslims do not believe this, and are therefore exempt from paying personal tax.

So, yes, **death and taxes** are unavoidable, but only for Christians.

If you convert to Islam, you will not have that problem. At that point, you switch to believing that **”jiziah”** is only meant to burden non-Muslims, who must of course pay. You, on the other hand, you simply do not pay.

It works like a charm!
