Flutterby™! : Governments and taxes, levies, fees..

I hate taxes as an individual having to pay them. As we build some very very complex tax and levy structures into or main application to support some french west african governments with inane and insane fee logic, and being told that the reason they are trashing the old software and "upgrading" is the old system can't do these legally required complex things, part of me wants to shout "Vive! la bureaucratie de gouvernement!". Sadly, I am a hypocrite.
