Forgot to say that the french tax authority open sourced the (after FOIA-like pressure - called "CADA" in France) code that computes the tax amount from the tax form entries. It was written in a custom language (with documentation):

You have each year code in the repo.
- elliekelly 6y agoDo you happen to know whether the CADA pressure came from another branch or agency of the French government or whether it was some sort of transparency advocacy group?
