I live in California in the Unite States. Tax and fee payments to both
the federal and state governments are considered paid on time if they
are mailed with cancellations not later than the due date.
I will have a property (real estate) tax payment to my county due on 10 >December. As long as the envelope contains a postmark dated 10 December
or earlier, I incur no penalty for a late payment even if the US Postal >Service does not deliver the envelope two weeks later.
If there is no cancellation, how do I prove I mailed the payment on time?

Other postal authorities have done some of this canccel 'skipping',
notably Great Britain. The result is 'action' by postal clerks to
'cancel' those stamps using ballpoint pens, sharpies or any other
means at hand, including ripping portions of the stamps 'to deface
against fraud'.
Another gummint 'nail in the coffin' of stamp collecting.

You're right about "Another gummint 'nail in the coffin' of stamp >collecting", it's exactly this.
It will open a new collecting era of "Spit or Not Spit stamps". A cheap spit >detecting device (about 199.99) will be sold by Stanley Gibbons to advanced >collectors...
This is not about manually damaging the stamps that weren't cancelled
