Of course, I would choose a high salary even if the tax deductions were also high. Simply put, the net income after high taxes is still much greater than that of someone earning a low salary with low taxes. So it’s no surprise that the wealthy can always live in luxury, and sometimes even live for free thanks to investment gains. At first glance the two may seem similar.
You didn't fully read the topic then. The place where you get a high salary also has very high living expenses, because of that you may be worse off than in the other place with low pay and low taxes.
Maybe there are differences between the brackets? Like the marginal tax rate, where you pay based on your dollar income? Additionally, checking the effective tax rate that you have would give you an idea of how much you are really paying in taxes.
This would vary per country, but the majority of you can take some deductions in some way if you avoid being in the rich bracket or something.
Yes, but that is just one part of the equation. More important is to compare countries or states that for equal incomes have much different taxes. Brackets are not relevant for that comparison. You should go to where the taxes are lower in most cases.
