I've no idea about how the detail works in the countries that tax, but surely this is a zero-sum game between players and providers? Assuming all players and providers pay the same tax rate and all claim their losses and pay their dues, there would be no net tax revenue but a pain in the ass with administration. If anything, there may be a tax loss to the state depending on the non-poker income of the winners and losers.
