If you're wondering what the #JohnMastodon thing is about...
...here you go. Captured by the Wayback Machine for you, as the author has since realised he'd misread the Join Mastodon account name. 😂
And thusly, the legend of John Mastodon is born.
@Haych @sjw That doesn't seem that high.
Every percentage is from rough income (pretax).
Here in Czechia income tax is 15% (income over 48x of national average is 23% (it used to be called solidarity tax lmao)).
Health insurance is 13.5% for self-employed, for employees 9% is paid by the employer and 4.5% by the employee.
Pension is included in social insurance, which is 6% paid by the employee, 24.5% by employer, 29.2% for self-employed.
Tax from acquiring property got canceled, but property tax is still here and it's calculated from property size, type and location (higher population region = higher tax).
Plus you have VAT which depends on items.
I hope I got things correctly.
However I don't know what the real percentage people here pay to the state is, because you can write off various things.
@Moon I would support them even more
I'm the joke, but you're the punchline.
I run this website. I like posting funnies and fugging lolis.
