"Tax filing websites" is a strange invention. Tax should be filled with the tax office.

Involving third parties in the process can only make things more complex. Even if that market should grow and attract entrepreneurs it's all artificial rent seeking, and not positive for the economy at large.

Allow me to present the strangest thing then: A tax filing website – made by the tax office! Such a thing exists, in Germany, aptly named „Elster“ (magpie).
