It’s possible in theory, but very difficult in practice. A society without taxes would need to fund public services—like roads, security, healthcare, or education—in other ways, like voluntary contributions, user fees, or profits from state-owned enterprises. But history shows that without some kind of regular, collective funding system, it's hard to maintain shared infrastructure and basic services fairly. So while “taxless” sounds appealing, it often ends up shifting the costs in less transparent ways—or weakening the things everyone relies on.
