In ancient Egypt, they paid taxes to their local vizier and to their local temple.
The temple used the money to pay priests and maintain the temple.
The viziers each had an area. They gathered the taxes, and took a certain percent for themselves. The rest was sent to the pharaoh.

Laobecause the scribes worked for the government.
Ancient Egypt has a regressive tax code, which is to say that the poorer you were the greater your tax burden should be. (The United States currently has a generally progressive tax code, i.e. the wealthier you are, the greater your tax burden should be.) Under the Ancient Egyptian tax code, Scribes as upper class Egyptians, did not need to pay taxes.
No because they were higher than the other labourers.
Strictly speaking, the Ancient Egyptian Scribes did pay taxes, it's just that the tax code called for scribes to be exempt from taxation. (If you don't pay, but have no actual taxes imposed, then you have paid 0.00 which is what is expected of you.)
