Not sure what good means. Nobody likes to pay tax.

If you mean legible, common-law taxation is going to be messy by nature. Civil-law jurisdictions will be more legible. France has published formulas for theirs.

If you mean simple, Estonia deliberately chose a simplified foundation for their post-Soviet era -- a tripod of land-value tax (not a property tax); flat income tax with some basic deductions; and VAT. They are new enough that exceptions are probably modest. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxation_in_Estonia
