I have a question lef. How do they tax you in Australia? 1.How much do they take out from your paycheck, 2.how much do you pay for property taxes, 3.how much capital gain taxes when you sell property, 4.How much tax do you pay when buying in stores In the US they tax you on everything you can think of. You buy a house, you pay taxes, buy anything pay taxes(Depending on the state, here it's 5.5%) you sell a house, you pay taxes (40% called capital gains) then you pay property taxes every year on property you own, then if you make a certain amount you pay the goverment more taxes.
You just can't win in the US with all those taxes. How is this situation in Australia?
Its a easy question to answer, but very hard to explain if you get the drift, Like all other things, there are two things certain in life, death and taxes.
The method is similar to that in the US, for a wage and salary earner, tax is taken out at the required rate by the employer, which is,
Taxable income tax on this income
$0 – $6,000 Nil
$6,001 – $25,000 15c for each $1 over $6,000
$25,001 – $75,000 $2,850 plus 30c for each $1 over $25,000
$75,001 – $150,000 $17,850 plus 40c for each $1 over $75,000
Over $150,000 $47,850 plus 45c for each $1 over $150,000

When you live in the family home, you only pay the relevant council rates, (this includes garbage, parks and garden maintenance etc.. (approx $1000 on a average size property)
Capital gains. there is a sliding scale, you pay tax on the gain minus allowable deductions.
Buying stores well a bit complicated, we have a 10% GST on goods that meet the umbrella of the GST.
When you buy a property in Victoria ( a state of oz) you have to pay a tax ie, a average property worth approx 350,000A$ a tax of 26,000A$. (each state has different rules)
In short there are Federal government taxes, States taxes and local Goverment fees, I can only predict that the same type of fees and charges will hit Poland especially regarding profit from investments and local government charges.
