This is a dangerous path. First this, next the government just sends you the tax bill, without you needing to file (and you can dispute it), and then CBDC where every microtransaction is surveyed and sanctioned (or not).

You don't need "CBDC" for that, you're describing the current European tax system with a VAT. All business invoices are sent through the tax office, but you get paid to do it.
