I still remember an old joke saying tax auditor in north american can be as detailed as calculating how many cups of coffee you drink per day. at the time I read that joke, I didn't understand what that mean or what is the implication. now I understand, the auidtor calcuate your income by adding up every little thing you spend, and then compare to what you have claimed. if there is any descripency, you end up with have to explain where the extra money have come from. believe me it will be a lot harder than you think.
