Re: stupid taxation...

I'm living in Bern and normally I pay about tax 18% based on my monthly salary.
Today I got bonus and company deduct (21K) 33.57 % tax from entire income ( monthly + bonus ).

1 ) based on anual total(bonus+monthly) tax rate is 21-22% I guess.
How can they apply 50% tax more?
2 ) I know every country applying more percentage for the bonus,
But it should be bonus only not include monthly one.

Tax filing next year is the way to get it back?
Frustrating as it may be, I don't think you can get it back.

Think of it as a exta bonus you will get back when you complete your tax declaration.

Either way, you should have enough to tide you over this lean bonus period
