Having this stuff digitized is actually pretty nice. The German ELSTER is basically PDF forms on steroids; same tax forms you presumably used to fill out by hand but with input formatting, validation, basic sanity checks and it estimates what you'll pay / get back at the end of it all. Then you can even submit it online if you have registered for a private key. Of course the tax forms themselves are still insane.
