Thought it might be interesting to compare how much we're all taxed in our respective countries?

How is tax calculated where you are?

No, this is for those who run businesses. I don't know how individuals get taxed; I'm not so sure if they can get taxed at all. I still don't know a lot about tax codes around here to be honest ...

How common is it to have a flat tax like that, I wonder?

In the UK, people are taxed modestly at first, but the % goes up as they start to earn more.

Basically, for individuals it works something like this:

Starting rate 10%
0 - 2,150

Basic rate 22%
2,151 - 33,300

Higher rate 40%
over 33,300
