Just pay for basic income by levying progressive property taxes. Right now, most societies have very regressive property taxes. The wealthy (who own vast amounts of property) pay very, very little tax on all of it while small homeowners pay very large property taxes.
You could even pin the basic income to a % of revenues. If landlords started raising the rent to try and capture the basic income, their property values would skyrocket and then they'd pay a higher tax rate which would bring in more revenue to support basic income. This would effectively create a feedback loop until the landlord class would no longer be able to afford to raise the rent.
