澳洲的税太高啦!

袋鼠

今天发工资啦，光一个月的income tax withholding就接近我在新加坡一年的总缴税额啦。还没算capital gain tax, interest tax etc.

澳洲别的都不错，就是税太让人痛心疾首了。

静水神泡

有缴税就不错啦，还有好多兄弟姐妹想交还没地方交的呢

astina

你是说澳的税赋有新的10倍之多?

PeterWay

even in this case, the 40%ish is not flat rate but only marginal.

I got a salary raise for coming to melbourne. I am paying more than 10 times the tax.

With same pay, the tax here can still be 10 times of that in singapore.

The highest marginal rate here is 48.5% whilst the average is around 30%. Are you saying that only 2-5% of your income in Singapore is paid as tax?

much less than 10% of gross income. It is less than 3% actually.

And I had no kids, no parents in singapore to support, so I was paying more than most of my colleagues was paying.

some of my colleagues paid almost 0 tax since thay have some kids, parents, and maid etc.

Depends. I get no benefits in au right now.

In Singapore, I got private health insurance pid by company. I don't get this benefit here. So in terms of medical benefit, it is worse for here for me right now.

Of couse, if I lose my job or retire etc, I will have better benefits.

交税是每个公民应尽的义务。

That is right. Some of my colleagues were paying almost 0 tax in SG.
I was paying more as I had no any tax allowance. Even I was paying full tax in SG, it was still accounted for less than 3% of my total income, as capital gain is tax free!

Income contributed to cpf (like super) is tax free. If I give up SG PR, I can retrieve whole amount out of cpf.

But surely you had known the difference in tax rates between the two countries before you decided to move over?

Right. I knew. But I still wanna come here just for enjoying some different life style.

Even I knew, it still breaks my heart by looking at the pay advice.

but evetually when you realize your gain by selling the property, you have to pay the capital gain tax then, right?
I read the tax rules. Seems capital gain tax is added to income for tax, so it is taxed at marginal tax rate.
It sounds like deferred tax to me.  Is that right?

I was aware of it, but I thought it applied to capital market transactions only.
Didn't know it applies to property.

Got it. Thanks.
