I’m guessing it’s Estonia. It’s really ahead with digital governance.

  Estonian here - no it is not Estonia. Here our income tax declaration is very simple, the tax office already knows how much salary we have earned, and there aren't many deductions, so most people either don't have to file taxes at all, or just click next a few times and get their tax returns after a week or so. For 90% of people it takes less than 5 minutes.

I think it's Norway. (I just googled GP's email address (it's in their profile).)

  How can you tell? All "Languages" I get is "Java 100.0%".

    The COBOL part is from memory. I'll have a look to see if I can find a copy floating around somewhere. Edit: the transition appears to be more like 2016, and one of the commits then refers to a file generated from COBOL: https://github.com/Skatteetaten/trekktabell/commit/5181d86c56194a8952a29416124986a01cd10da6 https://github.com/Skatteetaten/trekktabell/commit/5181d86c5...

      I did find an awkward source that lists the 2017(?) COBOL code for the tables - the core program seems to be last updated 1993 (Norwegian only) : https://docplayer.me/38761458-Beregning-av-forskuddstrekk-inntektsaret-desember-skatteetatens-it-og-servicepartner.html https://docplayer.me/38761458-Beregning-av-forskuddstrekk-in... > IDENTIFICATION DIVISION.  PROGRAM-ID.

        This is the one! If memory serves, they updated the program for each year (I guess only numerical constants and small rule changes), but they probably didn't update the source in the documentation.
