I pay my taxes, do you really think you deserve advice on escaping having to pay yours, you thieving scumbag.
Political correctness is the belief that it's possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

Well, if you're from a civilised country, they hire a debt collection agency, track you down and bill you for the pleasure.

Uncivilised country? Well, you never get back into FInland (or perhaps even shengen, these days) - or if you do you'll get free accomodation.

You may even have difficulties leaving the country..

So you enjoyed all the benefits that this country has to offer and then escape without paying the tax!!
If you do, your a$$ is toast for EU and Schengen ( automatic EU wide ban, which then also bans you from entering the US for similar reasons and dont underestimate the Tax authorities. You ll first end up in a no fly list too)
€1200 is way too less for getting yourself in such situations..and yes ...Even thinking like that makes you an a$$hole.. :twisted:

anyone who thinks that getting an active schengen police record for 1200 meagre euros is a fool - for 120,000 or a cool mill, maybe - but 1200 euro - there's a foolish man who will die sad and poor..

You may not be able to come back, and if you do then the the local authorities will be on you like a cheap suit from the Men's Wearhouse. You'll be arrested, jailed, and you will share your cell with nice looking fella who will give you a butt massage without asking for your prior permission. All of this is a part of greater plan for good

What happens if you had left before you got your tax papers? If you return back you just act stupid - pay the back taxes and everything is ok - Surely?

Maybe thats one way of doing it without not getting a butt massage :)

I'm not sure if the taxes go old, but they start racking a nice interest rate ;)

What does it pay to EU to have you booked as criminal? Trouble of one bureaucrat typing you into register.
What does it cost to EU to have your gilted arse arrested when you try to enter it? Trouble of one borderguard who checks your papers.

In both cases, bureaucrat and guard would still be paid every month regardless if they typed or arrested you. So just as well they can arrest your tax evading gilted arse and get something out of you. Either money of your freedom.

I understand your wish to avoid taxes but you are burning bridges....

a friend of mine travelled in the USA in his youth. As he was travelling he racket up parking ticket, speeding ticket and the like. However, since he was leaving the US after his travels he never bothered paying them. Roll on 20 years and work took him to the states. He was pulled over in immigration and told that unless he could sort out payment + interest in the next 6h he'd be banned from the US and sent home. He paid and it was approx 4 months salary!
