FAO Accountants

Question for the tax accountants - is there a handy guide anywhere that I can see the equivalent personal tax rates broken down country by country? Iā€™ve found a 2014 Deloitte report but its 1400 pages long and Iā€™m not going through all of it.

Just ask me any countries you need, bud and I should be able to help you.

USA
Dubai
Australia
Spain
New Zealand

See above. Let me know if you need anything else.

Thanks mate. A few others if you donā€™t mind

Netherlands
Singapore

Also, what other countries in the developed world would have a rate below 10%?

Dubai isnā€™t a country, mate.

Well spotted. Although most educated people would not feel the need to point it out.

Most educated people arenā€™t as smart as I am, @Mac.

Are you done or have you anything else to add?

What are you trying to do @Mac? The rates alone will tell you very little. A huge amount depends on the individual.

For example - in some parts of the U.S. workers pay a city tax, a state tax and a federal tax. The 20% above is probably just the Federal tax. Or maybe @Horsebox is taking the piss with the rates.

What you need to do is engage a chartered accountant to look into this properly for you.

Iā€™d have hoped @Horsebox wouldnā€™t be taking the piss and would have included all relevant taxes in his calculations.

Donā€™t mind Brian, @Mac . Chartered Accountants create a need for themselves by scaremongering. The numbers I gave you are solid. No need to verify them elsewhere.

@Horsebox, please clarify the differences in the rates you gave me vs this

Whatā€™s the average salary nowadays for a qualified chartered accountant lads?

If you had two feet and put one of them into a bucket of a water at 100C and the other into a bucket at 0C the average temperature would be 50C.

But one foot would be very hot and the other very cold.

Are you in a dark room somewhere auditing?

The median would be better.

Maybe hire a dietician while youā€™re at it. And a personal trainer. Sign up to a racing tips site. And golf for that matter. Spend hours in with Vodafone looking for the right phone. Ringup Dell when your laptop shits itself. And go to a weekly Dadsā€™ Club for advice.

No. TFK is in situ to shortcut the above requirements. @Mac[/USER], everything [USER=1537]@Horsebox has stated is presumed to be correct, unless he tells you otherwise.
