Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₨ 1,250 to pay you ₨ 1,487. In other words, every time you spend ₨ 10 of your hard-earned money, ₨ 10.09 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
54.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 16.8% tax rate now rises to 54.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 38% higher than what it seemed at first.
