GERMAN TAXATION
The average German workman is still paying nearly four times as much in taxes as his British opposite, in spite of the burdens imposed in the new British Budget. In Germany the average skilled workman receives wages ranging from £3OO to £430 a year, and his fixed taxes total about £SO a year. The following figures show the taxes paid by a skilled workman with two f
children receiving a weekly wage of 100 marks' (£8). Conversions are at the pre-war rate of 12 marks to the £ Yearly (Sterlibg). Tax. £ s. d.
These taxes total £1 a week, as against the yearly income tax of £ll 17s to be paid by an Englishman with two children and having a wage of £4OO a year. Germans receiving wages under £8 a week must pay, in addition to the above taxes, 4J per cent, of their wages for sick insurance. Taxes for unmarried German workers are considerably higher than those listed above.— ‘ Daily Telegraph.’
