> EU people can deal with their own taxes the possible tax savings are well worth the extra paper work for an EU worker so i'm sure they would be willing.

Several companies have been taking this approach recently, requiring you to set up a "small one-person business" (replace with whatever it's called in your specific EU country) which is a long and costly bureaucratic process so that you can pay a shit-ton of taxes while getting less net salary than if they would just pay the taxes for you (like any other EU employer). They give you 0.75x the money they themselves would spend to employ you while covering the taxes, tell you to deal with it yourself, and wrap it in cellophane with "hey but you're saving so much on the taxes!". Of course completely ignoring that you, the employee living in your EU country, are the one who actually benefits from them.
