🇧🇷 Brazil — State & Municipal Taxes
Brazil has one of the world's most complex tax systems. States levy ICMS at 7%–18% varying by state. Municipalities levy ISS (services tax) at 2%–5% and IPTU (urban property tax). A sweeping tax reform (EC 132/2023) is gradually replacing ICMS/ISS with unified IBS and CBS taxes through 2033. States impose ITCMD (inheritance/gift tax) up to 8%.
🇦🇹 Austria — Municipal & Church Taxes
Austria's 9 Bundesländer (states) do not set separate income tax rates — 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.
