If you add VAT, income taxes, special taxes (tobacco, alcohol, gasoline), property taxes, corporate taxes... I'm sure that the real tax level that some people pay is near that value. Depardieu said that 85 Euro of every 100 Euros he earned were destined to pay taxes, so it's not improbable that in Belgium some people pay 60-70% of their total income to the government. |
I looked it up. It's even worse then that in Belgium:
59 % tax on your total pay (single person on yearly 50.000 euro)
21 % btw on most non-food related products (Note: they raised it to 22 % on some products a short while ago.)
It's downright criminal.
