Usage Note
Contribuyente is the standard legal and fiscal term for a taxpayer — the person or entity that pays taxes (contribuciones or impuestos). It is common gender: el contribuyente / la contribuyente. The verb is contribuir (to contribute, to pay taxes). In broader, non-fiscal use it can refer to anyone who contributes to a cause, though colaborador is more usual in that sense.

"Los contribuyentes financian los servicios públicos."
