Slightly off topic but also not as it is about taxes...
I learned recently that Japan have this pretty cool tax thing where a percentage of your tax can go to a prefecture of your choice. Mainly because Japan has a very unequal population so the more sparse areas population wise get loads less tax so to balance things out you can pick one of the prefectures and if you do it by a certain date they will send you a nice gift for doing so, same Wagyu beef, some posh strawberries etc, I really like that concept.
Taxation where you get to choose where some of your money goes feels like a very civilized way of doing things for me.
