I paid taxes in France and Hong Kong. The French taxes are taken at source from your salary and you touch them up. In Hong Kong, it's a simple form, and they trust you. France is only 70M people and HK makes a tax profit every year with 8M people, sure. We re not the strong and beautiful United States, but if us shithole countries can tell people an estimate they can touch up, the US can as well Im sure. I thought before that the US was some sort of capital friendly country until I made a franco american friend who had to pay taxes there and Hong Kong. He had a guy hired and it seemed a complete nightmare. He worked as a low level programmer there for 3 years 15 years ago and nothing else. Still needs an accountant to do his taxes :s
