The top income tax bracket in Australia includes all incomes over $181,000 and is taxed between 30.3% and 45%. Individuals making $180,000 are taxed $65,000 plus $.45 for each $1 earned over $180,000. An individual making more than $500,000 would pay a tax rate of 59% in Australia, 57% in the UK, 60% in the US and 73% in Brazil.

How do you determine rich? Its not about salary really is it. The filthy rich do not receive standard pay and wages as normal workers do. It's these people that must be taxed and that includes all they receive and spend as corporate expenses . The normal worker gets taxed on perks and allowances. The filthy rich get away without any issue on their perks and out of pockets!
@4SZP3NV5yrs5Y
Yes, but also take into consideration the number of children supported in the household
@8SZT8Y94yrs4Y
Higher tax on the super rich and multi national corporations
@9K8PHGN1yr1Y
Taxes should vary based on income/tax bracket. The rich will naturally be paying more than those in lower tax brackets. The rich should not receive additional tax increases.
@8GDG6YG5yrs5Y
Yes, but only for people who inherited their wealth
@B5WZ3WB2wks2W
Lower income tax particularly for workers and the middle class, lower corporate tax on smaller and medium businesses, close tax loopholes and raise taxes on housing investment, end the stamp duty and implement a higher land value tax.
@B5SL6QL4wks4W
No, instead lower taxes for the poor and cut wasteful spending such as welcome to country ceremonies.
@B5BBMRL2mos2MO
Tax bigger businesses, corporations & religious groups. Lower tax for individuals, remove tax for people without savings / assets.
