SYNOPSIS

Too high, unfair, poorly spent… taxes are widely criticized across France and Europe. From tax avoidance to tax revolts, the Yellow Vest movement brought the question of consent to taxation back into the spotlight. Why does resistance to taxes vary so widely across Europe, regardless of the actual tax burden? Is there such a thing as a “good” tax? Jean Quatremer travels across Europe to meet those who pay taxes, those who set them, those who study them — and those who help others avoid them.
