Date | 09:59:47, April 19, 2013 CET | From | League of Justice | To | Debating the Centrist Tax Compromise |
Message | Please remember that we do lower the taxes for the poorest Kazulian and making the tax system more equal and reducing the overall tax. |
Date | 11:47:05, April 19, 2013 CET | From | De venstregrønne | To | Debating the Centrist Tax Compromise |
Message | This is a massively unjust budget that increases the bottom tax rate from 26% to 38% while slashing taxes for the richest Kazulians. Yet again Retsforbundet has shown itself as a right-wing party that only cares about the rich elite and is determined to destroy the services that the poorest and must vulnerable rely on. |
Date | 12:29:58, April 19, 2013 CET | From | League of Justice | To | Debating the Centrist Tax Compromise |
Message | No, we are with this proposal permitting Kazulians to earn 2500KKR more a month and that is not favoring the elite, it is favoring the poor Kazulians. Yes the lower middleclass will pay a little more when they earn more than 12500KKR, but they will also benefit greatly by the raise of the lower bracket. |
Date | 15:17:38, April 19, 2013 CET | From | De venstregrønne | To | Debating the Centrist Tax Compromise |
Message | Retsforbundet's claims are not entirely true. While there is a very slight benefit for those earning between 10,000 and 20,000 all other middle class taxpayers will be worse off. Here are our calculations for before and after tax income according to the current tax system and RF's proposed tax system: Salary 10,000KKR: Currently - 10,000 after tax, Proposed - 10,000 after tax (unchanged) Salary 15,000KKR: Currently - 13,700 after tax, Proposed - 14,050 after tax (350KKR better off) Salary 20,000KKR: Currently - 17,000 after tax, Proposed - 17,150 after tax (150KKR better off) Salary 25,000KKR: Currently - 20,300 after tax, Proposed - 19,875 after tax (425KKR worse off) Salary 30,000KKR: Currently - 22,750 after tax, Proposed - 22,225 after tax (525KKR worse off) Salary 35,000KKR: Currently - 24,950 after tax, Proposed - 24,575 after tax (375KKR worse off) |
Date | 16:13:01, April 19, 2013 CET | From | League of Justice | To | Debating the Centrist Tax Compromise |
Message | Our claims are entirely true and your calculations prove that, but we do however also lower the taxes for the successful Kazulians which will create more jobs and wealth for everyone. |
