> Why should we aspire to this? Why is NZs solution better
Because New Zealanders, as well as almost everyone else in a developed country, spend much less time and money on a chore that can be optimised to be easy and free? Not to mention the pure PR side of things - people don't like doing their taxes. The easier it is for them, the less they'll hate it.
- mulmen 2y agoYes, tax filing should be simplified. But it’s not clear to me that simplifying the tax code itself is a good idea.
- grecy 2y agoI didn’t say anything about simplifying the tax code, I said NZ ease of filing is something to aspire to.
- mulmen 2y agoNZ ease of filing is because they simplified the tax code.
