jonb,
You are making yourself look like more of a fool every time you refuse to say what you meant by the word "tax" in your original statement. You are not winning the favour of anyone by dancing around the question, which, I might add, is mindbogglingly simple to answer. Pick a definition of the word "tax" that applies to your statement in the context it was given, and let us know what it is.
I might remind you, nomatter how much you blather on about how the word tax can be used in the "it is taxing to climb these stairs" form, this is not a valid use in your case, as you use it with the "20%" descriptor, and it is mentioned in the context of money, as well as taking money.
