He mentioned German exit tax is keeping him from doing that.

EU is not the US. I started a company in Czechia and while setting the company up was not a problem, setting up a bank account was. Every bank has declined me, I started with the easiest ones.

Because then the german tax man would presumably demand he pay more than he has available, in exit tax (as explained in the post).

To cite the modern thinkers in Corporate Avenger, «taxes are stealing and I get the feeling that were getting fucked in the ass».

"Standard" German people have an deeply ingrained, culturally inflicted belief that administration is inherently a good thing, and that the more of it there is of it, the better the system functions.

Worse, when you try to gently and constructively engage them on the topic, their mind is so deeply dyed with the idea, that they either simply don't understand what you're talking about or when they do, refuse to engage because they find you so weird, it's a waste of time to discuss with you.

"Was nicht dokumentiert ist, ist nicht passiert". Yeah, right, except that "Alles erstickt im Papierkram" and nothing ever fucking happens.
