> 38% + about 1 month of net income to pay each year as income tax. My 35-40% figure includes the income tax and the rental tax. You must be in a crazy high bracket if you get 38% deducted every month. On my last pay slip, it's 17.5%, but I get paid around the lower end of the salary brackets I posted above. > VAT is 22% on most products. 20% > Gas is expensive (highways too!!!). Maybe. I prefer spending my money on better things than a car.
