I work a regular full time job in Germany. Plus do some investing and gigs. Declaring taxes every year. It's not fun at all, basically you have to prepare for it the whole year(keep track of your transactions, expenses). So i don't see the point about "not declare your taxes". I guess, it's valid only for the most unproductive people in society. Generally, i have an impression that Germany benefits the most unproductive(i.e. edge case poor and super-rich). While putting all the pressure on the middle class.
