We shouldn’t have them in Belgium… The government already spends 53% of GDP, and adding another tax wouldn’t lead to lower taxation on labour, just higher government spending…
In Romania is flat 10%. Even so a lot of people actually ignore to pay it as the process is somehow complicated.
Also the agency who should collect it is in stone age, failing to help people filling the forms and failing to create a simple process so that people could pay it.
Also most of the people refuse to pay it because is anyhow stolen by politicians friends companies.
Dividend tax is 5%!
It’s wrong for Sweden. In Sweden we have 2 ways to tax capital gains.
For example last year I payed like 4% tax on my gains.
Interesting but ultimately not very useful since every country has its own unique way of calculating capital gains.
Capital gains taxed lower than wages is something nobody will ever be able to justify to me and I still believe they are seriously defending it.
In Germany it’s only 26,3750 % if you are out of the church. With church tax it’s 27,9951 % or in Bavaria 27,8186 %.
The Irish paradox 😂
In many cases, capital gains can be taxed at 0% depending on the exact type of account you use to do the trading.
Isn’t France 30% (“flat tax”) ?
What is a “capital gains tax”, anyway? 😀
As a middle-class earner in Germany who’s trying to invest some of his savings these taxes make me depressed. I’m not rich and still I have to give back a fourth of my pretty humble gains.
