And similarly no consumers pay any tax ever. They are collectors of tax only. They embed their "fees" in the salaries they demand from their employers.
Or more accurately, both consumers and businesses are responsible for paying taxes as part of the responsibilities of benefiting from a functioning society. One that provides a structure of law, an educated populace, common infrastructure and a safety net.
All sides are responsible for contributing to society - business just have consolidated more power. Sufficient enough to escape the responsibilities of paying taxes.
