The idea of using a tax refund check as a buy-in to purchase an initial quantity of drugs in order to become established as a drug dealer. Most often, the would-be tax flipper will not himself receive any tax refund, e.g. due to having not worked in the previous year, but will seek out some other person to let him "flip their taxes" -- the promise being that the lending person will be quickly repaid her tax refund once the flipper sells-through his initial quantity of drugs.
Tone moved in with Tasha last October to escape the cold, and was sure he could successfully hustle rock if only Tasha would let him flip her taxes in order to get some work. Tasha's lent Tone her taxes two weeks ago and Tone said he was going to post up at his nephew's house. Tasha hasn't heard from Tone since and now realizes that flipping taxes isn't a real thing, but rather a scam used by men to steal women's tax checks.

The damn middleman's tax is so high these days, I had to pay my brother 20 bucks for a fifth of smirnoff!

/mēm taks/ A compulsory contribution of cultural elements such as humorous images, videos, or text, which are submitted to the given individual’s internet group or page which they are a part of.
Meme Tax is particularly prominent in shitposting groups to ensure a steady flow of content as well as expectation relief and hierarchical contrast for the Meme Lords posting high-quality original content. Any member with an outstanding Meme Tax balance is a Lurker until their debt has been paid in full.

Traffic violations.
Surprise taxes are the worst kind of tax, as they have an official bribery structure where you can pay an attorney to pay the local district attorney. Also, if you don't use the official bribery structure your insurance increases, which is arguably better than dealing with the IRS with normal taxes.

I budget about $200 a year for surprise taxes. This morning I had to pay out some. Enforcement has gone up since the red light camera surprise tax revenue dried up after being ruled unconstitutional.

Being forced to contribute to friends' birthday gifts because it would be socially unacceptable to decline.
John: "Hey everyone! Sam's birthday is coming up, let's all contribute to a gift!!!"
Sally: "Sure! I'm in."
Matt: "Me too!"
You: "Same here." (I'm not even close to this person, why am I getting birthday taxed?)

The catch up sleep your body forces (sleeping through alarms, etc) for staying up too late for multiple days in a row.
Man I slept for 12 hours and missed my appointment, I knew I shouldn't have stayed up playing games three nights in a row. Sleep tax is a bitch.
