No, they don't. If you are e.g. an Irish citizen and you live and earn your income permanently in France, then you neither have to file tax returns nor to pay taxes in Ireland. An US citizen who lives and works permanently in e.g. Germany has to file tax returns in the US and is also liable to pay taxes in the US if certain conditions are met. Very unusual and very much different to what almost all other countries in the world do.
