I have 2 masters degrees and I can confidently say that I'm too dumb for this.

@belastingdienst why are you like this?

@Gina it's not you, it's the system

@daniel_bohrer And I'm like the easiest case there is. No kids, no partner, no business. I don't know how people do their taxes themselves.
Show threadDaniel BohrerMar 21
@Gina it's the same in Germany. When using the official website provided by the state, for the first few years I had to google even after reading every single of their "help" texts. No wonder there are third-party software providers out there who you can pay to essentially give you better help texts, I bet it's easy money for them :D

@Gina @belastingdienst let AI reason the favorable outcome?

@Mndell @belastingdienst Ah we have great experience with letting algorithms assess people's taxes in the Netherlands.

Dutch scandal serves as a warning for Europe over risks of using algorithms

The Dutch tax authority ruined thousands of lives after using an algorithm to spot suspected benefits fraud — and critics say there is little stopping it from happening again.

@Gina @belastingdienst Taxes in Sweden: you look your tax results sees how much you get in return and klick OK.

@daniel @Gina @belastingdienst well, almost the same here; except there are a few corrections you can make in case you need to.

@rasmus91 @Gina @belastingdienst Yes, you can do that in Sweden too. I'm gonna put in what I spent in public transit so that I get some of that back.

@Gina @belastingdienst It’s legalese, which is an attempt at expressing formal statements in a non-formal language. Questions like these are far better suited for formal languages like python.

@Gina "Belastingdienst" is one of those (for a German) funny dutch words.
Show threadDaniel BohrerMar 21
@falkheiland @Gina I think it's very fitting. A German would probably say it's very "belastend" (burdensome) to declare their taxes :D
