Comment on Isn't EU's "VAT" a regressive tax? Why do they have that, instead of something like, taxing the rich?

How’s income taxation?

Here in Estonia we have 22% income tax if you earn enough, but also there’s a 33% tax on the employer’s side + some tiny ones on both sides. 22% sounds completely fine except your pre-tax income is NOT what your employer pays for you, they pay a significant extra. Which is still coming out of your salary in the end, because your employer has to offer you a lower pretax income lol
