In what sense ?

A completly new tax ? No. thoose are hard coded in game.
You can modify the laws to change the distribution of the taxes.

I imagine its possible, but itd be a little hacky and most people find gui modding difficult (i won't touch it if i can help it lol).

I think the game will always need you to have one of the vanilla taxes active.,

You would have to edit the ui to add a new tax button and mod the gui so that it has an effect when clicked. You could maybe edit the gui to also hide the visual activation of the vanilla active one? And then you'd need some way to suppress the effects of the active vanilla one. This could be done by triggering a negating modifier from somewhere or have different versions of your modded taxes that negate each of the vanilla taxes

so yeah i think theoretically possible, but difficult and a bit messy

If you mean having a new tax law, that's very easy to do.

What's hard coded are the the way taxation are taken:

Dhimmi tax (heathen per capita)
Land tax (peasant tax)
Per capita tax
Income tax
Dividends tax
Consumption tax

This list is hard coded. The tax laws themselves are a classic effect file

I believe OP is referring to the taxes in the budget menu. E.g. "very low, low, high, very high". But I could be wrong and you right. They are being as vague as possible.
