I simply took my (sustainable, profitable) business to Ireland after getting sick of dealing with German nonsense.

The value prop to me of being in Germany was entirely negated by the hostile environment towards getting anything done that wasn't paperwork.

I‘ve been running my company in Germany for years and do absolutely zero paper work. Zero. As I said, I spent a few hours to incorporate and we pay external services to do the work to keep it running (taxes, insurances). And I refuse to believe that you don‘t have to file taxes in other countries, sorry. It‘s just ridiculous.
