Yea - scandanavian countries have a lot of taxes

60% income tax?

Or what ?

well our tax system is a bit different

amount other things we have a 25% VAT on most services...

‘Shared infrastructure’

I sell programming services, so when I sell a service I first pay the 25VAT then I pay income tax on top of that

Yes - how much income tax?

As a percentage?

There are differnent tax brackets

I can see why someone would call any tax ‘redistribution’ - but I also see the nuance between redistribution and shared services.

> There are differnent tax brackets
@ChordFunc from what to what? Lowest and highest?

Its 39,8% at the highest I think...

Didnt know fellons cant vote in usa

Ok. - so out of 100 you make, 25 goes go vat, and roughly 40 to income tax. Effectively you keep 35 ?

But we have a lot of indirect taxsation...

we are not a democracy

Good point. U are a republic.

Democracy is a particular type of republic.

We are god’s kingdom.

😎

45 issnt it?

40 + 25 =65. 100-65= 35

(100 *0.75)*0.6

Depends if you apply the income tax to the whole 100 or after vat

no the income tax would just be one the revenue or the profit after expenses

Ok cool. What’s your system of government?

Most people would say that we are a : Social democracy

But we have State capitalism

We have the world largest Sovern wealth fund

Yes. Great country

Bigger than china as well 😮

But its mostly oil money poured into free markets, a stroke of absolute brilliance or pure luck

It’s the fruit of their Labour - they can choose to wipe their asses with it.
