There is no coercion or deception in this situation, so it can't be racketeering. Unless you want to classify all taxation as an extortion racket.

It's just a bad tax policy that creates weird incentives ("use the canteen even if you don't need it"). Let's keep the word racket for criminal enterprises and antivirus companies.
