Payroll deductions in non-US countries

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

My check usually has the following deductions: Fed tax, state tax, social security, medicare, and, starting next month, health insurance.

In honor of Tax Day here in the US, I was wondering what payroll deductions workers in other countries.

2

My salary is credited directly to my account. Commonwealth income tax, my superannuation contributiona and union membership are deducted.

3

National taxation (PAYE), social insurance, union membership, health insurance and pension contribution. The first two are the only deductions common to all employees in Ireland.

Lets see…

  • Federal Tax
  • BC Tax (taken by my wonderful provence)
  • Health Insuarance (AKA Extended Medical Care)
  • CPP (Canada Pention Plan)
  • EI (Employment Insurance - in case I get laid off)
  • RRSP deduction

I think there’s some more but I don’t have my latest cheque to check <snicker>

Not counting the RRSP deduction that’s almost 50%!! Woohoo! Canadian taxes rock. :slight_smile:

When I max out my CPP contribution in August my montly take home pay increases by over 600.. heh.. That's something like a buck five in US, I think . :wink:
