If your tax collector won't take your tax payment, then you sincerely don't have to pay the tax - at least not immediately.

They take you to court for not paying tax. You provide the judge with evidence that you actually did pay tax, but the tax office refunded it back to your account. The tax office looks very silly and the judge orders them to either accept the payment or waive the tax.

The legal system in many countries is far more adversarial than your idealistic imagination, and the amount of time and effort this would entail is immense. In the real world, people aren't going to deal with this just to get a bank app working on the kind of mobile OS they demand.

I think that's how we tend to view it when we've never had to partake in it. It's this big scary unknown thing.
