Lucas had in fact failed to register the store under the Baylands City-state Commission for Technology, and he had also not been paying taxes. The reason? Lucas was bad at running businesses.

What's more, Yohan was a wanderer and not a man with a fixed shop. At times he could be spotted in Kingdom A, then on the next month at Kingdom B. As such, he didn't really have to follow the rules of paying monthly taxes from his business to a kingdom or nation since he was a nomad.
