Crazy Tax

You ok hun(y) ?

Yeah... you lose half your pay over 40k ... in Dublin in particular on 40k , you're a poverty case... 80-100k if you have a family, rent or mortgage, is nothing... for a start, if you're on 100k and single, that is actually 62,755 a year after tax. One bed apartment in Dublin 2k a month plus 300 month bills = 27600 a year on rent and bills...

Dubai has an economy based on helping companies avoid taxation in other countries, If you believe there is 0% tax in Dubai you are wrong, it is just a different type of tax than income tax.

We have the world's most generous state. Someone has to pay for it... if you're young , get out of here ASAP...

If you think workers here have it hard wait till you hear about Dubai!!

No, they can't calculate tax.

Corporations like Apple use Irelands tax regime and obliging rules to avoid billions in tax in the EU.

When the European comission first floated a proposal to make the disclosure of beneficiaries of trusts mandatory, Ireland objected furiously.

I would suggest you emigrate to somewhere that doesn't gouge workers quite so much; it's certainly on my to-do list.

The roads you can drive on? The lights that illuminate your street? The sewers under your feet? The hospitals you can go to if you are sick? The nurses and doctor who will look after you? The state run institutions like museums, universities and governmental buildings?

Social protections like Jobseeker's so you know you'll have an income if you lose your job? Illness benefit?

You never avail of any of the above, no?

Yeah. Those trolleys don’t pay for themselves.
