| Income Tax (National Tax) |
This is a tax to support society
based on earned and other income. The tax rate is based on your
total income after what is needed to support your family and
such is deducted. Taxes are paid by your company deducting them
from your salary.
For those working at a company, you will be issued an "Earned
Income Tax Withholding Slip" for the income taxes paid
for the year in January of the following year. Be sure to keep
this in a safe place as it is a very important public document
regarding income tax payment.
