Question:
The taxes that states impose: Is this a right for the one who pays?
Answer:
This is outside the scope of what relates to zakah. These may be taxes (makas) that are not permissible, but a person pays them without his own choice. There may be a cause for this in the Shari'ah according to some scholars. So the situation differs from this; this falls under zakah. Yes.
