Right, and that's assuming the hypothetical host country has the formality of subpoenas. Some countries would just send armed forces and demand access. I've heard firsthand stories of how Russia's tax collectors essentially hold businesses at gunpoint, by surprise.
- waps 12y agoThe tax ministry of the Netherlands is pretty famous for doing the same (and for being total assholes about it too, locking people up without explanation until months later. Destroying businesses by "safeguarding evidence", ... And yes, it's not without cause, but they do get things wrong every now and then). Generally speaking, every western country gives that right to it's tax service, although I hope not all of them actually do things this way.
