How Not To… Pay Taxes
By Ocean on May 21, 2008 in Featured, Humor
Live in Italy. That’s the short answer.
Italy has an untaxed (read contraband; black and gray market) economy that equals the combined gross domestic products of Finland, Portugal, Romania and Hungary. According to Italy’s tax revenues, 25% of the country makes less than € 6,000 per year, and 95% make less than € 40,000. Restaurant owners appear to earn less than police officers, and jewelers earn less than schoolteachers.
According to the International Herald Tribune:
The owner of an office cleaning firm in Rome divides workers into two categories: “Those who are wily and don’t pay taxes, and those who are stupid and do.”
So the outgoing Italian government decides to post every taxpayer’s salary details on the web.
