It's evil to take someones money. It's necessary because it funds the surrounding. A necessary evil, as op asked for.

    It is only if it's taken without something in return though, akin to stealing or robbing, else taking someones money in return for a service or goods would count as evil. Taxation always come with expectation of something in return, it's in some way similar to paying for service.
