It’s time! I have to do it!
By the end of March, as every year, with one of the several consolidated “confederate” rituals of the Swiss Confederation, every entitled person shall complete the annual tax declaration.
Of course Switzerland has a perfect electronic way for that! You can download a program from every cantonal tax department and the tax declaration becomes like a simple (quite boring, actually!) video game.

“EasyTax” is the name of this software.
This is good, perfect, efficient, easy… Swiss!
But, as many good, perfect, efficient, easy… Swiss things in the Confederation… it is unfortunately lacking joy, style, taste, beauty!
Why? Look at what they chose as opening screenshot of the program!
Is it a dying flower? Is it a faded vegetable? Is it the Sadness itself? Is it the “End of the World”?
Of all the colourful and nice flowers the nature offers, only a Swiss tax declaration program could proudly start with such dull floral image!
