Translation
Ms. Frost works as a permanent employee in an office. What does she not have to pay from her salary?
- A Income tax
- B Contributions to unemployment insurance
- C Contributions to pension and health insurance
- D Value-added tax ✓ Correct answer
Explanation
An employee's pay has wage tax and social insurance contributions for pension, health, and unemployment insurance deducted directly. Value added tax is a sales tax that businesses add to goods and services, not something withheld from a paycheck.
Tips
- Wage tax and social insurance come straight out of a salary, VAT never does.
- VAT is paid when you buy something, not when you get paid.
