Slovakia has the highest labor taxes in the region

Slovakia has the highest labor taxes in the region, with dim consequences on the country's competitiveness and job creation, says APZD, a business lobby group. The total labor costs and net wages at a gross wage of €1,500:

	labor costs	net wage
Slovakia	€2,043	€1,143
Austria	€1,952	€1,273
Czechia	€2,007	€1,204
Germany	€1,802	€1,197

                    The current Slovak government has increased both payroll levies and income taxes. On average, taxes and levies eat almost half the labor costs here, compared to just over 40% in Germany, 45% in Czechia and 39% in Austria.
