Tax
It's always been a matter of some surprise to me that I have never been busted for tax evasion. I've worked in a dozen countries under a kaleidoscopically variegated set of tax systems (Poland alone has at least three different kinds of employment contract) - none of which I have ever understood. A snotty letter did come from the British Virgin Islands but I dealt with that. And now this bombshell, dropped on me by Gazeta Wyborcza: "Every investor has to fill in a special 'capital gains' tax return. What's worse, you also have to pay tax." And I thought it was only people who worked for a living that had to pay taxes.
