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.

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