jestdotty654823dpensions being taxed never made sense to me
the governments be drunk with power
and the tax slaves agree taxes are good like morons -
ars1392523dThe only way to get taxed 45% in Japan is to be filthy rich, making like 40 million yen per year. Which would still put you in the top 1% of earners. Either you’re really bad at math, or you’re filthy rich.

ars1392522d@sidthepajfuk that would be around 2.8 million yen, which equals a total tax of around 20% if you are a full time employee. Most of it goes to insurance and pension.
I do not know where you are getting 45% from, so I’ll assume you’re bad at math.
Alright so,
Japan has been deducting my salary every month:
1. Pension
2. Health Insurance
3. Employment insurance
4. Residence tax
5. Income tax
Almost 45% of my salary just disappears.
Also, it seems I can get back the pension when I leave Japan next year, up to 5 years of worth max. BUT IT'S FUCKING TAXED AGAIN.
WTF 20.42% TAX, YOU TOOK MY MONEY WITHOUT MY CONSENT AND NOW YOU WILL TAX IT TO GIVE IT BACK TO ME?? MOTHERFUCKERS.
FUCK YOU.
