Salary Help for Europe

[sofiarose]

Hi,
Does anyone know the tax rate for Italy? I was offered a job, the contract says 49,000 Euros gross, but net is 1900 a month. I am told the tax rate on that salary is 37 percent plus local and regional taxes but it still seems too low a month based on the yearly gross salary. Also, how doesincome tax work there? I know they take it out of your salary but is there a period where they take more out? Thanks

You may have been quoted income tax only - there could be other deductions - social security etc

Well my friend who lives in Italy told me that number, I also looked it up. And this person makes 40,000 euros and takes home 2,000 euros a month. Same status as me. I asked them how they came to this figure and it was very evasive. Im Italian with citizenship and I kind of know how Italy is, a bit evasive. When it comes to a contract however and money I think it needs to be clear, it cant just be some random figure. I was told "thats about your net income." Is this ok?
