No idea. There are some link and information about zcash protocol and
things like that.

This is very interesting point. You can try to contact and ask them.

Maybe taxes will have to make their own evolution according to the new
scenario.

Anyway, capitalism sucks and it still there and stronger than ever,
maybe we don't have to think on how will work taxing systems, and
instead something like: how humanity will better distribute all the
goods and resources, because now it's a mess.

From my point of view, Ethic Capitalism is an Oximoron.
