Here our tax system is so simple as a normal citizen not owning a company there is almost nothing you can claim on.
Your tax returns are filled in by the tax people. Banks have to give all the information they have to the tax people as does your employer. There are very few secrets.
Only if you earn money on the black can you get away with it but that is very risky and if you get caught then it is the high jump.
We dont have company cars here. We have lease cars. Your employer pays the lease costs if you are eligable but you pay tax on 15% of the cars value per year. You are only allowed to keep the car for three years then you have to lease a new one.
Another country that is not mentioned is Belgium. Their tax system is in a mess with a back log of almost 10 years.
