๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡น Austria โ€” Municipal & Church Taxes

Austria's 9 Bundeslรคnder (states) do not set separate income tax rates โ€” this is federal. However, municipalities levy Kommunalsteuer (municipal payroll tax) at 3% on wages paid by employers, and a Dienstgeberabgabe (employer levy). Church tax (Kirchenbeitrag) is compulsory for registered Catholics at ~1% of income. Vienna and other large cities have additional levies. Property tax (Grundsteuer) rates are set by municipalities within federal parameters.

๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ฎ Finland โ€” Municipal Income Tax

Finland's 309 municipalities set their own income tax rates (municipal tax) ranging from ~16.5% to ~22.5%, averaging ~20%. This is added to the national progressive income tax. The church tax of 1%โ€“2.2% applies to members. No regional income tax. The 'solidarity tax' on high earners (2%) applies nationally. Municipalities also levy real estate tax on property owners. The welfare state is heavily funded by these high combined tax rates.
