and even after the triple check, your accountant is still not 100% sure you will not be fined for that after a few years...
also when the fine comes you're guilty not your accountant...
heck not even the tax officer knows what the law means. They'll take you to court just to be sure (and you'll be the only one︀ paying for it and not getting paid from it...)
get over it, many accountants in︁ EU are just undercover state employees... paid by the client, but working for the state...︂
I mean just read the DAC6.. you pay your accountant to optimize your taxation, but︃ he is forced by law to snitch on you if you try to escape their︄ system.
It's like fiat money... till you stay in their system you must pay.
Yeah you can try to optimize, but as a friend EU tax officer once told me:︅ once we get sent to inspect your business, we already know we will find something︆ wrong. Could be a small fine but you ultimately can't be sure there's 0% chance︇ you will get out of it clean.
it's already like that in many EU countries. you end︊ up spending more energies/time trying to be 100% compliant than working on your business.
Either that or you go full criminal and ignore every law/never appear in their system.
The middle way never pays long term cause once a small thing happens, you're forced to︋ hire lawyers, it quickly scale up.
If you aren't proactive with expenses/deductions and trust a︌ basic/monkey accountant, you barely keep 40% of what your business makes in a year...
(social security included as it's big scam too, usually you end up paying huge amounts for︍ people that never worked... and nobody will cover your pension check in future)
also don't︎ fall into the trap that "things will change with this new government"... these kind of️ things will not change quick enough.
They'll still raise minimum pensions for getting more votes, they'll still hand out helicopter money, it's just a self sustaining scam.
It's better you quit their system, cut all the ties, move to a small country with small government/employee number, limited power, limited laws, low compliance, that doesn't put the burden on you for every small thing...
I've known plenty of people in high tax/high bureaucracy EU countries, that once started they own business, after 3-5 years, they converted from commie/left wing to flying the anarcho-capitalist flag. It's either that or they end up bribing public officers...
it's all︀ fun and games until you try it. And when you want to escape it's too︁ late as they'll force the crazy exit-tax on you rof/%
