I went to apply for a NIP (personal tax file number) after being told they would verify my eligibility and send it to me after 4 weeks, I asked the lady as kindly as I could, not knowing the words for tax rates.., "can you please tell me how much tax I will pay"
To which she replied confidently "your employer will pay the tax for you"
"Yes but it is my money and I want to know how much it will be"?
"It's not your money, it's the governments money"
Simple really.. why should I worry about that?
