Germans are not so obsessed about not paying taxes like e.g. Americans or Swiss.
How do the Swiss fit in to this? Actually the tax honesty is considered a lot higher than in Germany (let alone South European countries).
The reason for this being that the tax declaration is fairly straight forward and simple. Fairness of the (progressive) tax code is quite widely recognized, which makes for good - if not happy - tax payers.
If you're implying that evading taxes is something like a Swiss hobby and legal (bullshit I see quite often spouted by even reputable American papers) this is absolute rubbish. Tax evasion is not legal in any way, shape or form.
So my question stands: Where do the Swiss come into your equation?
