I'm no tax expert but I think the Australian tax department automates much of the tax collection and companies are obligated to meet fairly stringent payment requirements as they go. All of which maximises tax receipts. Seems odd that the Americans leave much of it as a self service system. Most salaried employees do almost nothing to manage their tax.
