Ours is big as well:
Russian Tax Code (taxes for regional invest projects, controlled foreign companies, law-enforcement departments/the investigating authorities, excises and blah-blah-blah). However the actual tax system is very simple for regular citizens (13%) and individual entrepreneurs/small business (6%). It's flat and easy.
If you'll get caught with a tax evasion (actually it's an extremely hard thing to prove), you will be fined for up to 20%-40% of the amount of the unpaid tax according to the article
122 of Russian Criminal Code (Google translate). Yes, Soviet Russia is a very repressive country and that's why our laws are so severe. However even with whose inhuman laws, a tax evasion is a national sport in Russia, I'm not kidding now.
