thx man! i wonder why they don't control the online purchases better? it has to hurt the shops who don't sell online (and produce more jobs) doesn't it?
i know from here that retailers in the cities have problems to stay alive because of the online shops but the tax is the same for both. if i could get it over the internet tax free (ok you say you should pay tax then as well but nobody does^^) or would have to pay tax in the shop the price difference has to be even greater!
but great that your tax rate is between 4-9% in most places in usa, we have 19% here for most products :( ok "only" 7% for groceries but for almost everything else 19%. it'S the most important tax for our gouvernment. more than 30% of the tax income comes from this.
i wonder how much would be the difference between the costs for a german or an us american with average income with all taxes included. tax on income, tax for gasoline (which is a huge difference between usa and europe and especially germany), and so on...

Just out of curiousity, how much does your income check get taxed? I know that here in New York, after medical, dental, social security, NY State Tax, Federal Tax, etc... I lose anywhere between 25-30% of my check. Then on top of that I have to pay 8.65% tax or so on just about every purchase I make...
It sucks here too, especially on Long Island where the cost of living is high.

hard to say. depends if you are single, married and both work or only one of both, if you have children, how much your income is and blabla^^
first 8k per year are free and people above that have to pay between 14-45 percent. and on top of that you have to pay 5.5% of the income tax as "solidarity" payment for eastern germany (old ddr) to get this area to the same standard western germany has. and then you have to pay a little bit if you are "officially" religious :)
but an example:
let's say you are single and earn 30k euro per year "net" (after payment for health insurance, pension insurance and so on), then you have to pay 31,5 percent income tax + 5.5% solidarity payment of the income tax amount.
if you earn 40k it's 36.1 percent and if you only earn 20k it's 27%.
if you are married and only one spouse is working and you have some children it can be much better for you.

Sounds confusing.
So, if you were to make 32k euro per year gross, what would be your take home pay for that year?
Here in New York if I were to make (Let's pick a random number shall we? ) ~$32,760/year gross, after paying for taxes, medical coverage and all else as a father of (1), you would bring home just ~$21,251.
