There are locally employed German crews, in Germany, who are under the false impression that they don't need to pay tax in Germany because easyjet and Ryanair have their headquaters outside Germany.
So let's expand on that for a bit.
Do you think EZY will pay German tax over the profits it makes from the operation in Germany?
After all, the aircraft also spend the night in SXF/DTM and are therefore also 'resident' in Germany. Then there are things like the crew room and a ticket counter, all permanent things/objects which indicate EZY's presence in Germany.
Again, it's not so simple and straight forward as you say it is.
