The answer

The forbidden type of taxes is what is known as mukūs (illegal taxes/customs), which are taken without a legitimate Shar'i right. The one who collects mukūs will not enter Paradise. Based on this, designing the page does not become sinful unless the taxes included in the design are of the forbidden type. These taxes cannot be categorized without knowing the reason for which they are collected.
