Why not something a little simpler, like a universal sales/VAT/transaction tax offset by a UBI. This simpler model provides fewer opportunities to build or exploit loopholes.

The universal tax would be at a relatively low rate, because it would apply to all transactions. And the UBI compensates everyone for the tax on essentials.
