In his letter to Mrs Parsons, Abdu'l-Baha includes income tax and
revenues from mineral rights ("severance taxes" in your list), and
other sources which are not likely to be significant:
===
This treasury has seven revenues: tithes, taxes on animals, wealth
without inheritors, anything found which has no owner, a third of any
buried treasure that is found, a third of minerals, and donations.
===
'tithes' on this list is not a reference to religious donations, but
to a progressive income tax, as he explains later in that letter,
( http://senmcglinn.wordpress.com/2009/06/11/socialism/ )
In some his works he refers to land taxes, but the contexts are
descriptive rather than prescriptive.

Happy are those who spend their days in gaining knowledge, in
discovering the secrets of nature, and in penetrating the subtleties
of
pure truth! Woe to those who are contented with ignorance, whose
hearts
are gladdened by thoughtless imitation, ... who have wasted their
lives!"(~Abdu'l-Baha, Some Answered Questions p.137)
