Embrace the black markets: - Always ask your plumber, painter, builder, or mechanic to avoid VAT. - Use bitcoin in transactions so that the tax authorities cannot investigate what you spend your money on or what you have sold. - Avoid declaring profits if you sell a car or any other asset. If you sell a house, charge part of the price under the table so that the state cannot charge you for the profit. - If you can, move to a jurisdiction where taxes are lower. Penalize taxes.
