The taxman would probably just look in the other end. They probably don't care in what way you were paying.l for the goods. Meaning if they suspect you for something, maybe they look at the flow of goods to your house for a period and make an interpolation over the year. Then you'll have to prove your innocence (tax law works this way at least in my country).
Or if they suspect many bitcoiners buy with untaxed funds from a specific store they go to the company and look at their shipping destinations.
Well I suppose nothing can be bought online and shipped to personal addresses. So buying with bitcoin-purchased gift cards would be somewhat limiting that way. Otherwise, how could they tell if someone walks into a store to buy things? How could they tell the “influx” of goods into a house? Certainly they can’t tell what’s our stomachs. Maybe if we get fat they’ll suspect us of tax evasion!
