In Switzerland you can fill out a special simpler tax declaration form if you‘re poor and have no income. So being broke actually saves you time there.

In Germany, you don't have to file at all, unless you owe them money. So poor people tend to not file and the government keeps their refund. Clever.
I have to file in the USA and Germany, which is a big PITA. Sat down to do so for the third time, yesterday, and ended up posting pictures of women in carriages and joking about dragonslaying, instead.
But I cannot escape it, forever.
