> the most difficult tax system in the world.

I love how hyperbolic statements like this get bought and sold like truth. It's not even close to being the most difficult tax system in the world.

> highly qualified foreigners have to learn German

For startups or tech positions? No, they don't.

Also, learning German at a conversational level is not impossible. (But it seems a lot of people in Berlin coast by without even knowing basic German)

Your link just proves how horrible German tax system is:

* A german needs 2x more time for taxes than a UK citizen

* needs 3x more time than a Norway citizen

* needs 4x more time than a Swiss citizen

* 20x more time than a UAE citizen

"Horrible"

United States: 175h Germany: 218h

Governments are not very easy dealing, but to call it "horrible" when some countries require 10x the time is unfair.
