It varies depending on what else is on your credit. For personal experience I can tell say that my credit went down over 200 points for a tax lien. Did not go up at all after it was paid, but definitely bounced back to the 200 points that were lost once I was able to have it removed.
It is true that credit bureaus tell you that there is no way to remove a tax lien once is paid. But the truth is that you do have a shot at it. Check out this link, is IRS form 12277 "Application for Withdrawal of Filed Form 668Y, Notice of Federal Tax Lien": http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f12277.pdf
Once you fill out the form, mail it to your local IRS Collections Advisory Group. Go to publication 4235: http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p4235.pdf
and find out the correct address for your local IRS Collections Advisory Group.

PAYING a tax lien has no effect on your credit. What would affect your credit score would be to have the lien released. This is the legal disposition to a lien. Have the release recorded at the same courthouse and send the proof of payment and the release to the credit bureaus. Tax liens have no statute of limitations for how long they can show on your credit report. Having the release recorded and shown on your credit triggers the 7 year countdown for when these public records will be shielded. According to Experian the payment of a tax lien, (which do in fact have statute of limitations of 7 years from the date of payment)payment of a tax lien and the subsequent reporting of the release WILL have a negative effect on your credit score. The logic in the world of credit scoring is this; Once a payment has been made on an old account, this constitutes "activity" on a derogatory credit entry. Recent activity on a derogatory account (even though payment should be considered "good") is considered a negative when computing scores.
