You make a valid point. Perhaps a better definition of "voluntary" in the context of taxation would be an action or decision made freely by an individual without being coerced by external factors. In this case, coercion refers to the use of force or threats to compel someone to do something against their will.
However, it is important to note that there are debates around what constitutes coercion and whether the government's authority to collect taxes can be seen as legitimate or coercive.
