I still think the absolute funniest tax policy was what Ireland did. They basically became a tax haven for foreign corporations to attract all the rich multinational tech companies and generate a ton of tax revenue in the process. The EU wasn't happy about it, so they sued Ireland and won. The outcome of the lawsuit was that Ireland had to charge back taxes + interest to the companies it gave tax breaks to, making the country even more money in the process. Probably the most "don't hate the player hate the game" economic policy I've seen in a while.
