I hate to point it out, but Ferengi don't have taxes until about season 7 - can't remember which episode, but Quark is talking to Brunt: "there are Tees on Ferenginar?[/i]. Clearly, he is shocked by the idea.
I think Quark loses money due to payouts on high-risk smuggling etc, which Odo usually catches him out in the middle of.
