That’s the same as social security and Medicare “cotisations” except we just call them taxes. There’s also unemployment but I believe it’s by state and comes out of your states income tax, if they have one.
- dopidopHN 5y agoI find the difference between cotisations and taxes meaningful. Specially in a context where one side of the political spectrum is constantly pushing to reduce the tax burden. Cotisations can be set aside in that discussion ( because, they are not taxes, you are guaranteed to see the money back in a specific and personal way ) Another difference is that French folks rely and plan to use the equivalent of Medicaid more. Here; my understanding is that it’s a nice bonus. ( I might be wrong )
