Do Wizards and Witches that live in the Muggle World pay Muggle Taxes?

Hi my name's Larry, I like to pop in with a post every so often and
I've been in this group for about three years now.
I was just wondering if it's been discussed whether or not folks that
have jobs in both the Muggle world and the Wizarding world paid both
taxes to the Wizarding World, as well as the Muggle world of Britain.
I guess, as it was mentioned in GoF, that the Weasleys don't really
have any address that the postman knows of since there's the owl post,
and that the British government really doesn't know that they exist,
or where they live at least. You'd think the Weasley may have to hide
their house from Muggle authorities so they wouldn't have to pay
property tax. Yet Wizards that are muggle born will have social
security numbers in the Muggle world and are probably checked by the
muggle government. If that Muggle born wizard were to have a job in
the muggle world, would he or she have to pay the muggle taxes every
year--DUE IN APRIL? Obviously, income tax from an entirely muggle job
would have to be paid, but property tax and other taxes?
That was a bit of rambling. Perhaps, this is an arbitrary question,
but I thought it might be something to discuss, since taxes are due in
a few weeks.
Thanks everyone!
