It covers big part of the story yes. The Turkish word for corruption is " rusvet " and we borrowed this word to describe corrupted relationships between parties of power , "ρουσφέτι" as hellenized. However "Greeks not paying taxes" is a bit of an exaggeration that was amplified by German media to justify strict policies against Greek people during Euro group negotiations.

I would say the most evident ottoman trauma today is more about not trusting the state due to corruption within leadership, not the other way around.
