Well they couldn't because obviously not everyone would fit. Plus if policemen and politicians aren't paying taxes either then why would they be willing to lock people up?
However would you be able to organise such a thing? Would you ever be able to persaude everyone - or even a large group of people - that it was a good idea?
Perhaps if a large enough group of people didn't pay (several thousand at least) then it would be a wake up call to the government, locking up several thousand people would look very bad on their part. However organising such a protest and making sure it LOOKS like a protest (and not just people not paying their taxes) would be difficult.

Well for a start your employer is legally bound to deduct your income tax and national insurance . Retailers and caterers are also legally bound to add VAT on to your bills so to stop paying tax you would have to resign from work and live off the land , but even then you would have to pay local tax.
Then obviously all the services your taxes pay for would grind to a halt , police , defence , medical , social services etc etc . I object to many of the taxes I have to pay , but we live in a democracy and have to abide by the rules , otherwise we sink in to anarchy which is not really a pleasant thought , no matter how much we detest our politicians !!

No. The government would collapse and there would be anarchy in the streets, so Jails would become a moot point; everyone would be in jail in their own homes. Besides, who would pay for the jails with now tax revenues?

There wouldn't be any jails, or police or criminal justice system as taxes pay for all them.

In Great Britain, you get a longer prison sentance for FRAUD, than you do for committing murder, they lock you up and then they throw away the key, Get Real.
