If the company collapses, those people lose their jobs anyway?
> Why the employees do not deserve this?
It's not about what employees "deserve," it's about the simple fact that the law allows the tax authorities to wind up a business to cover the tax bill. See the UK, where HMRC wound up Rangers FC (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Administration_and_liquidation_of_the_Rangers_Football_Club_plc https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Administration_and_liquidation...).
