The comments on the DM article are quite depressing. Shouldn't the raging lefties be pleased about this? They seem to just want to rant about "the rich" whatever the weather..

orOriginally posted by sasguru View PostGerman taxes for one-man bands are higher than for one-man bands working under a Ltd. Co arrangement in the UK
So, there are 2 possibilities:
1. You're not paying enough German tax. You're stupid enough that this is a possibility.
2. You haven't done your sums right. You're stupid enough that this is also a possibility.
Also approx. Euro 90K does not equal £160K.
I know you're bad with numbers but still.
3. I'm not a one-man band. My taxes are considered for a family unit, not just myself. This significantly lowers my liabilities.
Here in Deutschland Tax bracket III is very friendly towards families. Ltd co are for suckers.

Not that well off if you can't buy a trophy wife.Originally posted by sasguru View PostBollux. You can't buy a family or friends or a spouse (that mean amything) or good genes(yet) or a high IQ(yet).
I would argue that money wealth is the least important, but then I'm well off.
