   In the US, there are now calls to stop the tax preparation services that the   
   IRS provides for tax returns. Just like here, the Tax Authorities   
   (Belastingdienst) already have a lot of your data, and you receive that   
   pre-filled in your tax return. The Trump administration now wants to stop   
   this. The likely consequence is that preparing tax returns will take everyone   
   more time AND lead to more penalties. The reason Congress wants to stop this   
   is simple: it will make the Tax Authorities busier, which gives the wealthy   
   more opportunities to avoid taxes.
