Comment (by DD32):

 On the Options => Permalinks page, Just set the Category base to 'tags',
 And set the tag base to something NOT 'tags'

 I just tested with /tags for category and /tag for tags, and it works as
 requested, I also left the tags base empty, and set /tags for category and
 it works as requested.[[BR]]
 The default base for the tags is /tag/, So thats silently taken
 regardless. Maybe we should add a comment beside them for the defaults?

 If WordPress was to mix them both in the same base, it's impossible to
 tell if the user is requesting the XYZ tag or the XYZ Category, Now, You
 might not have both, But others will, And you may have it in  due time.
 Why add the extra complexity to it?
