So, I create a corporate entity that provides my housing, transportation, other major needs. All my income is paid to this entity, which pays no taxes. I, as a biological person, get some basic stipend to cover daily costs, and live comfortably with all my necessities being paid by the corporate entity. How does the state collect any taxes at that point?

EDIT: thinking a bit more, I guess sales taxes could still be collected. Could a government function almost entirely off sales taxes?
