Under "taxes" the Modern Catholic Dictionary has no entry, but the Catholic Dictionary issued in England in 1957 contains an entry about the civil government having the right to tax its subjects. At the end of the article, it says:
"The Church has the right to tax her subjects and the faithful are bound to contribute to the material support of religion where this is not already otherwise provided for; however, the Church rarely, if ever, imposes determinate taxes outside of the Cathedraticum
. The Cathedraticum
is an annual levy of the diocesan bishop on all his subject churches and benefices, but it is NOT on individuals.

First of all, it is just the Catholic Church. It's just Catholic, not Roman Catholic. Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the official Catholic Church. Secondly, other than when the Pope ran most of central Italy, and perhaps some religious Orders in their locales, I don't know that the Catholic Church ever collected taxes. I do know that there are several European countries who collect taxes from all their residents, and one of the beneficiaries is the Catholic Church, but I know of nowhere where the Church herself taxed people.

In most countries, in most times, the Catholic Church only taxes the parishes, not individuals.

No. In most sates in the United State religious organizations are exempt from real and personal property taxes. Each state has their own tax laws that describe which properties are tax exempt. Such laws are uniformly applied, that is all religious organizations that qualify for exemption (not just the Catholic Church in this example) are therefore exempt.
