But you are going to set up your own company and run a company car and pay yourself expenses and representation allowances plus your home and mobile phone bills, large pension policy with additional risk protection ie life assurance, 100% invalidity cover etc, make reserves and have two kids and a non-working wife and the list goes on. I run on business expenses ie external to salaries of 80K per year. That kills a lot of tax...
ok, fair enough on the pension - so much better here than in the UK - but have you been put through the mangle by the tax authorities? I think I used to get away with about the same until I was squeezed dry .
