Come to France.

You file on the web. You declare your monthly income and pay 24.5% tax, all inclusive of your income taxes. Even if you make no turnover the first months, you benefit fromthe health insurance, and you could even get the €400 survival allowance ("RSA"). If you reach 30k€/yr, you must file a proper company and you'll get the normal 75% tax rate.

I think we have a good system to let people start companies. Website is ugly and we live at the Cobol & Paper age, but we got this little part right. That was brought by Sarkozy.

Ow.

I counted all inclusive, such as your health insurance, retirement, unemployment insurance, income tax, company tax. Wouldnt be surprised if the same level of coverage would bring the same fees anywhere else.
