Studious Collector
It started when the phone rang.
Studious Collector looked up from his paperwork. He sighed and capped his pen before lighting his horn and putting the headset on.
"Hello?"
"Hello, this is Legit Collector of the ERS, and I am calling to inform you that you are currently under investigation for tax evasion. Who am I speaking to?"
Studious Collector frowned. "My name is Studious Collector and I work as the head of the Canterlot branch of the ERS."
"DAMMIT!"
*SLAM*

Whoops someone didn't check where his robodialer was calling
Ha! Next time, check the numbers, dummy!
Legit Collector just call an actual legit collector.
… I mean, ERS people aren't incapable of tax evasion...
But that was probably a smart move on Legit's part.
Someone is going to get a very badly made toy for Hearths Warming.
If theyre unlucky, its going to be soap on a roap.
Well played BronyWriter, well played.
The actual pony IRS...
Whoops
So they actually seem to be trying to get the money. We can eliminate anyone called. It’s not Discord because he’d care more about trolling the people he calls. It’s not Filthy Rich, he’s above such things. Likewise Diamond Tiara. Also unlikely to be Solver Spoon. Otherwise... yeah all obvious suspects eliminated.
It’s Spike isn’t it.
If only it was near April Fools. You could do a joke chapter where Legit calls the Cakes... and Pound and Pumpkin pick up the phone and baby talk into it, and progressively piss off Legit with their innocent baby babbling. Oh... this sounds like a fun idea. Too bad you already did a Pinkie chapter. But it's a funny idea!
9256516 Nah he got it from Flim and Flam and you know how bad their QA is...

Well, any good tax collector. I can't speak for any, but anyone is capable of Tax Evasion. Just less likely with the people who work there. This is coming from someone who has no idea what they are talking about, but anything is possible.. just unlikely with others! I might have misunderstood what you were trying to say. I am behind sleep, and might have just repeated what was said!
Legit Collector just had a legit brain fart.

Na, during the Twilight chapter they tried pretending to be a fake computer repair guy. Twilight hacked into their computer and deleted all their personal information. If it was Spike Twilight would know.
This guy just can't get a break

it cant be spoiled rich either because quite a few of the ponies called would recognize her voice... unless there was a voce modifier
BUSTED!
LOL, dumb scammer!
This guy's bad luck knows no bounds.
They related?
This guy's stupidity level is through the roof.

Nice!
Pffft hahaha!
"Legit. My son. Come home."
*SLAM SLAM SLAM*
"Why isn't this working!?"
"Your mother misses you."

If they have a cutie mark for taxes, they actually might be incapable of willing tax evasion!
Yeah, you laugh, but this sort of thing has actually legit happened IRL. Apparently this one phone sales autodialer managed to get the private line of the head of the FBI. No joke. Men in black suits showed up to have a pointed chat.

Equestria would be a pretty damn dark world if that were true
*chortle*
One thing I might suggest -- maybe not say that Studious is part of the ERS in the chapter title? I think that would up the punch line's impact.
It’s definitely not one of the canon characters. Considering that this is someone that lacks standards, it’s definitely an OC.

Fixed.
Bravo.

Well, that was destined to happen sooner or later...

"Mysteriously disappeared" I take it?

Not automatically. A cutie mark for taxes ought to represent a platonic ideal of taxation rather than a country's specific and fallible tax system. It's not that you're magically forced to comply with government agents and rules, it's that you intuitively grasp what you should be fairly paying to support the government, how you should be doing it, and not doing so goes against your personal values. Now, if a pony with that mark not only committed tax evasion but failed to get away with it, either though simply never getting caught, always getting caught but never by anypony inclined to arrest or prosecute, or being unable to prove in a court the flaw was in the existing system for not matching reality, that would be pretty dark... or at least, pretty cynical.

Hilarious. 10/10 expounding joke.
