Hanuman,
I am going to add to Mister Micawber's answer.
When deciding to whether it is "me" or "I", think of the following structures.
1a) He pays more tax than me.
1b) He pays more than I pay. (correct)
With 1b) He Pay, I do pay...in both cases there is symmetry. "He" is a subject. "I" is a subject. You are comparing one subject versus another
