Polish tax authorities and social security take us a little bit more than average. After the settlement of these institutions is available to us 74 percent. gross wages. At the head of the rankings are the tax havens of Cyprus (91 percent.) And Malta (82 percent.). The strongest will launch its taxpayers Germany (61 percent.) And Belgium (59 percent.).
Polish tax burden increase. – All by continuing to freeze the tax-free amount. It’s really a tax increase.

Our relief and joint settlement leave the family more money than to that song, because 78 percent. net salary. However, it is still slightly below the EU average.
