Can I use interest money to compensate for tax deducted from my salary?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
I am a government employee and my tax is deducted at source i.e. in my salary. Can by niyat (intention) I use the interest money of my bank account as a compensation for the tax deducted directly from my salary. I have read that interest money can be used for paying the tax but in my case tax is directly being deducted from my salary.

(Fatwa: 564/459/B=1434)

One can pay the interest money in non-Shariah taxes; it is allowable as per the Shariah.
