Part of the reasons that they want CBDCs so badly is to be able to levy taxes in real time. Imagine having money sent to you as payment and before it hits your account, the taxes are removed? Do not think this is outside the realm of what they are thinking.
In a way, this would be good. Calculating and reporting taxable income is a headache and if that were automated, it would save time and trouble.

That is true but it gives the government too much power.
What is the politicians decided that they need to fix the budget gap and pass an instant 90% tax rate? There would be nothing anyone could do to stop it since suddenly 90% of all money due to be received is diverted to their accounts.
CBDCs are very dangerous, not because of the central banks but because of governments and politicians.

That is also true. I don't like the idea of CDBC. That's a financial panopticon and a very unhealthy idea.
