Explanation:
Without a better dictionary in front of me, no J-Star to handle the online dictionaries, and no library available at 6:30 AM I am a little unsure about how to translate 扣繳. I feel much better about my translation of 義務人, however.

納稅人 is a tax collector. In this case taxman and tax collector are pretty much synonymous.

a taxpayer who has been deducted some amount of money by the taxation department.


Explanation:
This is my understanding:
扣缴义务人 and 纳税人 are the same. They are all the taxpayers. The former is a taxpayer who has been deducted some amount of money by the taxation department.

Not very sure about this though.

扣缴义务人
a person with reduced tax obligations/a person eligible for tax deductions/a provisional taxpayer


Explanation:
纳税= pay taxes
纳税人= taxpayer
纳税年度= tax year
纳税凭证= tax payment receipt

缴税= pay taxes

扣= deduct

扣除缴税义务人?

义务= 1 obligatory, compulsory 2 voluntary (eg voluntary service)
义务兵= compulsory serviceman
义务教育= compulsory education


Guess, possibly, a provisional taxpayer. In other words someone with business income who pays provisional tax based on the previous year's income and pays the balance owing, if any, at the end of the tax year.
