The origin of taxes is farmers and shepherds, etc., having to pay some stationary bandits to protect you from roving bandits. Viola! You have civilization because we are uncivilized.
Impossible. Even dudes living in the woods buy shit now an again and they pay sales taxes. Nobody grows 100% of their own food, and makes 100% of their own shit. Oh, do you barter? Well, the cost of the taxes in the origin of the item are baked into the item. Barter labor for goods or vice versa? Same issue.
Want to go live in the Amazon rainforest or some shit like that? Well, those gifts to the chief and others in the tribe as a part of social exchange are taxes.
