Ditto New Zealand.

A decade or so ago they decided to thoroughly sort out the tax law. Most small businesses are able to fill out their own tax (I did for years). It's about a page of information - all nicely coloured & well explained. Basically idiot proof (yes yes, I know).

Private individuals? Now things are at a point where you don't even NEED to file a tax return. Income tax is taken by your company & filed with the IRD, so unless you have extenuating circumstances, they know pretty much exactly how much you owe/are owed.

It's an absolute dream filing there, compared to anywhere else I've been.

Oh, & if you have any questions about any part of the law? They have helpful, clear pamphlets that outline all the details you need. Available over the web too. It's very cool.
