It is not always about the amount of taxes. It is what you get in return for your taxes. In other countries they get a LOT back for their taxes: paid medical leave, paid parental leave, paid daycare, free or near free college, universal healthcare etc
Yeah and while it's their choice that's one of the reasons why other nations with lower taxes are more attractive because the individual gets to choose what he or she needs to support themself
@@colbalt95 not always. Everyone has their own value of attractiveness on a country. Switzerland ranks highest for quality of life, with Denmark closely behind. Switzerland has relatively low tax and Denmark has relatively high tax. Yet they're both similar in quality of life. Norway has a relatively high tax rate but has the highest HDI. Slovakia has the lowest wealth inequality, and has what looks to be a fairly average tax rate. In general it does seem that countries with a slightly higher than average tax rate might be "more attractive", but again, attractiveness of a country is subjective. Governments should be much more efficient at providing necessary services than individuals and corporations due to scale, such as healthcare. Or building roads - imagine if you had to pay 10 different companies a fee to drive on their roads on your way to work? But less necessary services that only a few people will use are always a debate when it comes to personal choice.

Pension fund was 5.7% with 2% from before tax income (it was part of deductible income regardless of income) and 3.7 by company as allowances. Yeah the quality of health system is not the best in the world but certainly acceptable from many peoples because almost every procedure and medicine was part of the system so majority we don't need to pay again except transportation to clinic or hospital. (The cons side of that was queueing get very long, healthcare service server and system down so get fall back to manual operation with pen and paper that was very long, etc). For comparison minimal wage in the capital was 290 dollar/month/43k yen (and normally for unskilled blue collar worker) and price of house in the suburban (1 hour journey with train to central Jakarta. Tariff around 0.7 USD/100 yen one way for that journey) around 50-65k USD/9.7 million yen for new home before administration and land tax (you can get apartments/apaato or we called rusun because apartment as word have connotations like mansion in Japan. Rusun was around 20k USD/3 million yen before tax but well many middle class people hated that and more willing to take longer route than buy it, it was relegated to gov subsidize scheme credit for very low income people).
Even in India its similar than that direct income tax is 34.30% and when you make expenses you pay GST & CESS they variey from product to product like 5% to 28% so on an avg you pay 18% on indirect taxes so direct income tax + indirect taxes = 34.3 + 18 = 52.3% goes to taxes
Does anyone here remember the U.S. income tax brackets before Reagan, which was also before the National Debt exploded? We’d have a stronger economy if we reverted to those brackets.

We had the public revenue to pay cash for all that.

Wow that’s cheap tax for a high income.. In Denmark the income tax for high incomes have been decreased several times and is now down on only 55% tax.. Companies pay only 22%.. so better to have a company
in japan, if you leave the country for work, you don't pay taxes on that income. You do pay an extra tax if you stay there. So this, in theory, is one of the good taxes. Like as an amereican, i lived in singapore and worked for 6 months. I have to pay 100% of my income as taxes to US government, AND pay taxes to singapore for living there. If i was japanese, i would avoid paying that tax, since i wasn't living in japan for that 6 months, and instead would have to only pay the singapore taxes.

True
The issue when you have a system like this the people who benefit the most are those who make less money, so it removes the incentive for people to grind for wealth which in turn decreases innovation and technological improvement. However Japan seems to combat this with their extreme social stigmas surrounding social utility and excessive work culture

@@Boostiverse by almost every metric services are always cheaper when the government provides them as opposed to when corporations provides them. Because the government doesn't need to be profitable, it just provides the service at cost. For example, without subsidies quality health insurance in America is between 7k and 15k a year as opposed to the 5k for rich people we see in Japan.

yankees can only dreaming bout this😂
Yeah and while it's their choice that's one of the reasons why other nations with lower taxes are more attractive because the individual gets to choose what he or she needs to support themself
@@colbalt95 not always. Everyone has their own value of attractiveness on a country. Switzerland ranks highest for quality of life, with Denmark closely behind. Switzerland has relatively low tax and Denmark has relatively high tax. Yet they're both similar in quality of life. Norway has a relatively high tax rate but has the highest HDI. Slovakia has the lowest wealth inequality, and has what looks to be a fairly average tax rate.
In general it does seem that countries with a slightly higher than average tax rate might be "more attractive", but again, attractiveness of a country is subjective. Governments should be much more efficient at providing necessary services than individuals and corporations due to scale, such as healthcare. Or building roads - imagine if you had to pay 10 different companies a fee to drive on their roads on your way to work? But less necessary services that only a few people will use are always a debate when it comes to personal choice.

For comparison minimal wage in the capital was 290 dollar/month/43k yen (and normally for unskilled blue collar worker) and price of house in the suburban (1 hour journey with train to central Jakarta. Tariff around 0.7 USD/100 yen one way for that journey) around 50-65k USD/9.7 million yen for new home before administration and land tax (you can get apartments/apaato or we called rusun because apartment as word have connotations like mansion in Japan.

And live in a place where I pay 40% tax rate but the problem is, whenever I go out, I’m playing russian roulette with my life.
I'm at 42% in America, with no health insurance. Plus, property tax on house, car, and boat.
“Local inhabitant tax”💀 who comes up with this
in japan, if you leave the country for work, you don't pay taxes on that income.
You do pay an extra tax if you stay there. So this, in theory, is one of the good taxes.
Like as an amereican, i lived in singapore and worked for 6 months. I have to pay 100% of my income as taxes to US government, AND pay taxes to singapore for living there.
If i was japanese, i would avoid paying that tax, since i wasn't living in japan for that 6 months, and instead would have to only pay the singapore taxes.
Dumbed down version of how it works, but that is the idea, you pay more if you actively live in the area.
you call it water bills, electricity bills, property tax
