“You don’t pay your taxes? Isn’t that wrong?” Normally I’m the buzzkill that reminds everyone that taxes are an incredibly important part of a functioning society, but you know what? Not paying taxes to a fascist empire is actually morally sound.
Even in western “democracies” you get two choices: managed decline and unmitigated decline. There is no choice. Left and less left. Taxation without representation. Functional society this, necessity that. Even just a few decades ago, the government budget was in the hundreds of billions rather than trillions. Even then, government stepped well beyond necessary function. Socialistic redistribution of income, subsidy of unviable business (which, especially in so bureaucratically regulated an economy as that of the United States, is essentially enforcement of a monopoly), strong-arming other countries to act as we demand with foreign aid (giving aid to take it away) and God only knows what else. These things are the bulk of government’s expenditures, and they are at minimum unnecessary, if not evil. Very little of my taxes will go to genuinely essential functions, why should I pay them? Why, also, should I pay the government to be evil? Tax evasion is a moral good in just about any country.

One IRS agent actually did find Ben Kenobi, but assumed Obi-Wan Kenobi was far too smart to forget to change his last name and didn't investigate further. There's probably an EU comic about it.
Also he’s living on a planet controlled by the Mafia and semi-independent from the Empire (Hutt Space) so that probably also greatly helps in hiding from the empire, heck, living in Hutt Space is probably committing tax fraud by default.
Remember that the Empire used our taxes to pay for Mimban, the Death Star, and thousands of star destroyers, but somehow never have enough to fix the hyperlanes.
