I imagine this will be circumvented in similar novel ways much like the UK's window tax [0] was centuries ago. Multiple robots will be attached to one robot "brain" and argued that they are all the same robot. Or perhaps they will go the Volkswagen route and lie to government regulators. Whenever the government bot taxers walk in the room, all of the bots stop moving and act like smart compacting garbage cans. Or perhaps costs of robots will dwindle so much that they will become disposable. Come bot check day, the majority of the workforce will be unrepairable and destined for the bin. Or perhaps they're making high end CPUs with high margins that sell for $500 apiece, but the government thinks you're making plastic bags with low margins that sell for $500/pallet. This will never work imho... or rather, it will never be "fair". [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Window_tax https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Window_tax
