Supposedly Athenian taxes were assessed this way. The government handed out a list of tax obligations, and if you thought your tax requirement was heavier than somebody else's who was richer than you, you could challenge them. A challenge meant they could choose either to swap tax obligations with you, or, if they didn't believe you were poorer, to swap all their assets for yours.
