They changed the law so that the high earning employees don’t pay the tax, instead the companies do.

I wonder how this will be implemented. Will the companies deduct the tax from the employee’s wages, or will the companies absorb the tax?

What would you do if you ran a company with million euro salaries?

In the US, we had a 94% top tax rate on income over $200,000. During (relative) peacetime, it was 92%. However, perks such as housing, cars, and stock options didn’t count.

There were so many loopholes, nobody paid those rates.
