Europe’s tax divide: Why Germany and France tax labour far more than the UK 😔
Cikk tartalma röviden
The tax burden on labor significantly affects workers' take-home pay, with both employees and employers facing high costs through taxes and social contributions. The tax wedge, which measures the share of labor costs going to the government, varies greatly across Europe, with Germany and France having much higher wedges than the UK. The tax wedge in Germany is 46.6% and in France 44.6%, while the UK's is only 29.2%. This disparity is attributed to different government funding models for public services. The article also discusses the role of VAT and council tax in the UK, noting that the UK has a lighter tax burden on labor compared to other European countries.
