HELLO 
DEAR COLLEAGUES 

Have a look at the  question  and tell me if I remember well :
They must have  taken the umbrella,  haven �t they  ? 
Currently it keeps  me awake at night .   Many thanks for your help.

No, you use the first auxilliary verb in the tag.
 
Thy must have taken the umbrella, mustn �t they?
 
However, this is an awkward-sounding construction, so we would just find another way of asking it, such as "They must have taken the umbrella, don �t you think?"
