ETPers working on taxes (a list in progress): curmudgeon array. I just finished my 1998 German taxes in December. Hee hee

German income tax is like US income tax back in the '70s. Very complicated and very expensive. Lots of rules and lots of deductions. The fifty-percent tax bracket is alive and well. However, my experience is that, unlike the American IRS, the German Finanzamt is staffed by living, feeling human beings. It's a local office rather than a faceless national bureaucracy.

Another German ETP Site: tägliche Nachrichten As far as I can tell, only the the title is German, but I won't be fussy

Financial Times Deutschland A new national business newspaper in Germany. It's pink, like the UK version.
