Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₨ 1,250 to pay you ₨ 162,999. In other words, every time you spend ₨ 10 of your hard-earned money, ₨ 0.65 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
6.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 5.8% tax rate now rises to 6.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
