    Dispatches: Taxing The Reich

    Out of interest checked taxation in the Third Reich, under Nazi regime:

    "Unlike most other governments, the Nazis did not increase direct and personal taxes by any significant amount in order to fund the war.[citation needed] The top personal income tax rate in 1941 was 13.7% in Germany as opposed to 23.7% in Great Britain.[84]"

    Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Nazi_Germany



    2 times higher income tax in UK now compared to WORLD WAR 2!!! Fecks sake - total war effort in Nazi Germany had nearly 4 times lower taxation than UK now.

      Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

      No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.

        Throughout his rise to power, Hitler neglected to pay taxes on his income and allowances.[9] In 1934, one year after becoming Chancellor, the tax office of Munich sent Hitler a fine of 405,494,00 Reichsmarks for not paying taxes nor properly declaring his income.[7] He was given only eight days to pay off this debt.[7] The new Chancellor responded by ordering a state secretary of the ministry of finance to intervene, which resulted in Hitler becoming tax-free.

                No, but UKs highest rate of tax was 23.7% during World War 2 - how come right now it's 40% or even 45%???

                    You mean the Labour Party who employ staff on zero hours contracts whilst wanting to ban zero hours contract
