Seriously, what the FUCK? I'm not explaining what's in the link, words simply fail me. Just trust me when I tell you that you'll react by either 1. agreeing with the WTF or 2. citing Discworld.
I'm not that surprised by the fact of it, actually.
That kind of thing is actually not all that uncommon in the States, since the IRS really doesn't care what you do for a living so long as they get their cut of it. You could be a slave trader who does transactions in pounds of cocaine and they wouldn't so much as peep in the direction of law enforcement. I just hadn't heard of other countries' tax collectors being the same way.
