Isn't double taxation when a tax applies on top of another tax? I think some people are trying to co-opt what it means to apply the "bad" reputation of double taxation to other things. My own country has a famous issue with double taxation as I know it: diesel/gasoline have a specific tax and then VAT is calculated on top of original_price * gas_tax, instead of the original price. So if the gas tax goes up 1% we end up paying more than 1% because it also the increases the value of the VAT.
