Here for comparison are Australia's 2009/10 rates:
Taxable income = Tax on this income
0 – $6,000 =Nil
$6,001 – $35,000 = 15c for each $1 over $6,000
$35,001 – $80,000 = $4,350 plus 30c for each $1 over $35,000
$80,001 – $180,000 = $17,850 plus 38c for each $1 over $80,000
$180,001 and over = $55,850 plus 45c for each $1 over $180,000
Not sure how this compares with USA? We also have a tax on purchases, but nothing on fresh food and some other essentials.
