Thank you and everyone else for the answers, it's quite interesting. FYI I'm in France and here cash can only be used for taxes under 300€ [1] Maybe if you don't pay and they start suing then some other laws allows you to reimburse the debt with cash for any amount. With that said, I know we have some laws to allow everyone (most people?) to have a free bank accounts ("right to an account" [2]), and some other laws that prevent even the state to seize what you have on a bank account for debt reimbursement if it's lower than a certain amount (565.34€ - it's called the "unseizable amount" [3]). I don't know if it's possible to freeze bank account as they did in Canada. I'd guess they would have to have approval from a Judge.
