the tax authorities.

Every year, nearly 7 million Belgians pay taxes. More than 22.000 civil servants make sure the money comes in. But no one likes paying taxes and the tax authorities cannot count on much sympathy from citizens. For the first time, the country’s most feared government department is opening its doors to a camera crew. For a year, cameras recorded the doings of ten public officials at the FPS Finance. This provides an unseen look behind the scenes. The officials tell how they experience their jobs and what it is like for them to have a job where everyone has an opinion.
