I'm sorry to hear that. I do not have any advice to offer, but someone close to me went through a similar ordeal of bureaucratic and fiscal hell in another European country. They lost everything they had to the taxman and its insane rules. There is a great number of people similarly broke or jailed because of how restrictive and anti-business these laws are. I do not see how can one in good conscience defend them as good, or productive for entrepreneurship.

If everything fails, I would suggest to at least make as much noise about this as possible. On social media, local news, etc. Just like a viral post is the only way to get Google support, in these bureaucratic hells an interview from a journalist might open some novel avenues for help.

I am so glad circumstances brought me to the UK, where in comparison company law is child's play, and managing my business and its taxes takes a couple hours a year at most.
