NZ Tax system is like this, takes me an hour to do my company yearly returns on their website, an hour every month for the GST and 15 mins every month for the payroll and kiwisaver (pension) of two employees.

The fact they have an "other" category in the IR10 form that captures the breakdown means I don't have to worry too much about terms that mean nothing to me or my business and 90% of my earnings can just goes in that. No need for an accountant as long as you have good separation of business and personal transactions.

Doing tax is always going to be unpleasant, I don't see any downside to the government making it easier for the person filing the return.
