The building of two districts should be considered as two separate action or as one comprehensive action?
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
Suppose that one player is a Scholar, an Architect, a Trader, a Seer or any other character that can build more than one district per turn. Suppose also that the Tax Collector is one of the character used in this game.
The rule-book states that:
When the Tax Collector is one of the characters in the game, players are charged a property tax for building districts. Immediately after a player builds a district, he places one gold from his stash on the Tax Collector’s character token. [...] If a player builds more than one district, he is charged the property tax for each district built. If a player has no gold remaining in his stash after building a district, he is not charged a tax. [...]
Suppose that our player has 10 golds and 2 district of cost 5. Can he build both districts and pay no gold to the Tax Collector or should he build only one district and pay one gold to the Tax Collector?
Or, in other words, can the building of more than one district be considered as a single action?
Note This question is concerning Citadels 2016 edition. However, a similar question could arise when playing the editions of 2000 and 2004 even if there isn't the Tax Collector character. So, if your answer isn't valid for all the three versions of the game, then please explicit the valid version(s).

@AndrewSavinykh Yes. If I can build two or more districts as a single composite action then I could pay the Tax Collector after building all three of them (and in the case I’ve not enough money paying less than the full amount).

Tax Collector collects immediately after each one, as per the text you quote.
(Note: there may be at least one version of the rules whose section for the Tax Collector reads "one or more" and "at the end of the turn" instead. EDIT: found it: the original 2004 Dark City Expansion version said "If a player builds one or more districts in his city, that player must give you 1 gold at the end of his turn." According to this BGG post , the Tax Collector was the only character whose card text changed in the 2016 edition ).

So, it depends on the base of the rule-book I’m using? Personally, I like the version with immediately because allows to avoid the tax if there are no golds left and then collect golds with the power of characters and/or with the power of special districts.
