In the US the constitution states:
"No Capitation, or other direct, Tax shall be laid, unless in Proportion to the Census of Enumeration herein before directed to be taken."
Since the Census of enumeration also specifies the number of representatives a region has, this ensures that direct federal taxes are not levied except on those people who have representation. Whether the same applies to state and local taxes is a mater of state and local governance, and (of course) this does not apply to indirect taxes such as sales taxes.
