Abstract
Taxation on personal income and contributions to social and health insurance make up a total of 56% of all tax revenues in the Czech Republic and form an important political issue. We are bringing the real numbers about taxation of different types of economically active people on the Czech labor market into the political debate on the taxation.
The analysis is based on a representative sample of the Czech population from the Czech Statistical Office, thus allowing identifying the impact of taxation on real employees and business owners. This study utilizes results of the newly developed tax model that simulates the current taxation and welfare system in the Czech Republic in 2013.
