Annual individual tax reconciliation started again
2025 need to top up 2500
2024 was 20000
Earnings aren't even enough for the tax
Last December this company offered 50% raise to poach me
Don't know if they counted progressive tax brackets
Took two weeks arguing with current HR to settle
Actually I couldn't figure the math
At the time, with boss agreeing to signing bonus
I stopped fussing so much
In reality housing fund here is tiny—not a fraction of the previous job
Wonder if next year's reconciliation will bite back
otherwise I'd face 30%+ tax rate
But HR then promised take-home meeting the 50% raise
condition: salary paid on two cards
probably part not going through taxed wages to avoid tax
Last month what I got was fully taxed though
Watching this month
If it all goes through I'll curse her out
Another problem though
if I switch jobs, next employer wants tax flow
if they don't recognize untaxed income?
I'm still the one who loses
Workers never outplay companies
sigh
Earn money—tax. Spend money—tax.
I'm done
Tax and contraception alike
lifelong problems you can't escape
