From the wiki article "...current references to bachelor taxes are typically implicit rather than explicit"
It's not used to refer to an actual tax by that name but to types of taxation that benefit married couples.

Seems to be the usual term in English.
And the Japanese term doesn't seem col from what I can see.

今話題の「独身税」って何?負担額はいくらで、何に使われるの?
令和8年4月から、「子ども・子育て支援金」の徴収が開始されることが話題となっています。少子化対策として、子育て世帯が恩恵を受けられる制度であるため「独身税」とも呼ばれているようです。
  Comments:
A [col] I guess?
And "bachelor" only refers to males, 独身 doesn't
