Yup, then add the 13% HST on every single purchase, user fee's, revenue tools and hidden taxes plus property tax and you're paying over 50%. |
How much are property taxes and homeowners insurance there? I'm paying about $6K in property taxes / year (because we've been in our home since 2002 and annual increases are capped) and homeowners insurance just renewed for $4K, which pissed me off because it was $3K last year.
We also have a sales taxes, although far less than 13%, property taxes, mobile phone taxes, etc. (not to mention $1,400/mo. for high deductible health insurance). It would be interesting to do an apples-to-apples comparison across countries because simply comparing income tax rates isn't necessarily comparable.
