I don't own a static but I still wouldn't want to see static tax. I do think that statics occupied by longtime inactive players should be set vacant at some point but I don't think any kind of tax is the way to go.
Moving all the things to a container inside the static owners bank and paying estimated cost of the static back might work. This is just in case the player might come back. Only problem I see is that all the items in a static might not belong to just a single person so some items might go to a wrong person. Freeing up statics of inactive players would open some new money sinks for active players. I've heard many players that would like to buy a static but won't because there is not any good ones available anymore. I know a lot of people would want the prime spot static right outside Britain (belongs to Allanon at the moment I believe).
