That rumour isn't accurate. The origins of the Brexit campaign are well documented and understood, tax doesn't feature in it. It came out of the rise of UKIP who campaigned primarily on immigration and sovereignty, with the two being intertwined because, immigration was said to be high due to the EU forbidding any controls on intra-EU migration. That rise combined with long term Tory euroscepticism pushed Cameron to promise a referendum to win over UKIP voters, a promise he made good on, and then the Remain campaign lost.
