I do use "haven't you", but only when the sentence contains 'have':
"You've been to England, haven't you?"
I don't use it with 'have' as a full verb meaning 'to possess':
*"You have a car, haven't you?"
Instead, I would use "don't you" or "right" for this.
'gotta' is short for 'have got to' where 'have' is an auxiliary verb and 'got' is a past participle. In standard English questions are formed by inverting 'have' and the subject
Have you got to go?
and negatives are formed by putting 'not' between 'have' and 'got'
You haven't got to go
If you use 'don't' in a tag question for a sentence with 'gotta' do you also use 'don't' in negatives with 'gotta' ?
you don't gotta go or you don't got to go
and 'do' in questions with 'gotta'?
do you gotta go? or do you got to go?
in effect, has 'got' become a separate verb for you meaning 'have' or 'possess' and distinct from 'get'?
