I wouldn't mind paying a REASONABLE amount of taxes if the government actually used it wisely and made life easier for citizens. Instead, the taxes are too high, the government is not spending tax money wisely and they are overregulating everything, making it so complicated to run a business or do anything at all. So I left a few years ago👍

Singapore is a progressive system, but it doesn’t go above 15% until you are making over 160,000 a year and the first few steps are really low. It caps out at 22% for 320,000 and there is no capital gains on non-real estate investments. Personally I like the fixed fee model like Italy’s program. Here is your €100,000 and we are done.
