Exactly. There are countries (Ukraine, Belarus) where PayPal does not allow to withdraw funds (due to stupid local tax code and government regulation of foreign currency) but BitCoins are transferrable freely.
Actually the whole story is not about taxation. Local government wants to control and supervise all people's money. For example, for each incoming payment (wire transfer) they require a piece of paper with ink seal of the sender, date, amount, and account numbers of both parties. If any of these attributes does not match bank transaction data, then you've got a fine. Every local law in this area is made in such way that local workforce is isolated from global market, underpayed, underemployed and kept politically loyal.
So, bitcoins are a like breath of fresh air here. They bypass traditional banking system, controlled by corrupt local authorities.
