Thanks :) Yes, every year we are expected to fill out a bunch of paperwork (generally between 1 and 100 pages) and hand it in by a certain date "or else". The bureaucracy that interprets this paperwork (imho) is a total waste of money (on the personal income tax side), and the time_cost*every_taxpayer is absurd. For most people, their employer took out (in excess) taxes all year and sent them in, so they get a refund (after the paperwork ritual) on the loan they made to the gov with 0% interest. I'm not a fan on taxes on things you own because it means you don't _really_ own them. For example a person who owns a piece of property but can not pay the property tax. It gets taken from them by force if necessary, hence they never really owned it. At the very least we should carve out an exemption for property you live on. Transaction taxes don't have that problem.
