Not at all the case since the individual (the taxpayer) has no further dealings with, responsibility for, or contact with the taxing authority after he purchases the thing from the seller and pays for it, receiving his receipt.
From that point onward in dealing with taxing authorities, it is the merchant (who has agreed in writing to do so and is also paid to do so) who is the focal point of tax enforcement - not the taxpayer.
