DT: Romania for "Business and Development", Tennessee for "Administrative and Billing"

..."Dreamstime LLC is a US based company. Only the development is based in Romania." (per their forum)

I have a friend in Stockholm. He said the Swedish tax authorities are the worst in the world and that Sweden is the heaviest taxed country of all.
True or false?

Well, the swedish tax authorities probably where the worst in the world at one time and that rumor got stuck with them. Today they are actually my new best friends, really helpful and friendly. But the punishment for breaking the tax laws and regulations in sweden is very hard. In some cases worse than for manslaughter...

And yes, its true we pay a lot of tax in this country, but on the other hand we have good social services and an good standard in health care and society...
