I have so far created three companies, two of which are still open and making money, but boy how would I like an *actual nanny state*.
You just do your work for money and the calculation: all happens automatically based on what falls on an account for all persons involved . It retains necessary taxes and then if it retained too much give back later as no-conditions return. You know one thing where you don’t have to think about this shit ever.
@santiago that's fairly well how the UK works, for employees. Monthly pay has deduction for government tax, health etc. Automatic. Once in a while you get a surprise check, very very rarely a request for back pay as it's normally auto recovered by adjusting future deductions.
We look at what, say, the US does with horror.
@falken Many friends I know who created small companies in Switzerland had bad surprises when they were young. Usually because they didn’t properly setup all the mandatory insurances etc once.
What I would want is just never have to deal with these things. They give me panic attacks and I tend to postpone them which can create these very issues.
@falken I have seen this in Brazil too. Though I do pay an accountant so deal with this crap as it really doesn’t seem simple !
