Count normal tax rate of up to 45% and value added tax of up to 20% for normal workers in many European countries. That's what many engineers do pay, and most are ok with that and would gain nothing by going to Belgium, because Belgium has only nice taxes for rich people.

In most European countries there are also numerous tax deductions: daycare, mortgage interest (in certain countries up to 100%), savings accounts for youths and so on. VAT is a base consumer tax paid by everyone, and shouldn't be lumped together into income tax.
