I would have a much easier time understanding government legislation if everything was provided in such language. I tried to compute my taxes by hand a month ago to see whether and how much money it would save if I enabled "loon middeling" (some Dutch law about income). But I couldn't figure it out. The explanations provided were ambgiuous in some subtle way, leading me to incorrect assumptions. In the end I did figure it out by reverse engineering a free third party calculation tool (which also was not correct, but putting their insight and my insight together made something that came close to the number on my belastingaanslag).
