    What’s it like in other countries for business owners? Because in the US, if you own a business (even a small one where you are the only employee) and try to do your taxes on your own, may god have mercy on your soul. Even doing it through an accountant is a total pain in the ass

      Not sure about business since I’ve never had to deal with business tax returns.

      At least here in Romania, it’s the job of the accountant(s) to do the company’s taxes. If you’re self-employed or run a very small business (less than 10 employees) there are self-employed accountants who specialize in that and typically have 20-40 clients.

      In France it’s about three clicks every month to pay your social contributions for a small business

      Then at the end of the year they send you a stupidly complicated form that makes no sense whatsoever, but if you go online you can do it incredibly easily

      Intuit tried selling QuickBooks here, but withdrew from the market as there are so many free invoicing apps
