France

Income tax in France depends on the number of people in the household. The taxable income is divided by the number of persons belonging to the household. Each adult counts as one person while the first two children count as half each. From the third child onwards each child counts as one person. Therefore, a household comprising 2 adults and 3 children is considered to be a household of 4 persons for tax purposes.

The rates below do not include the 17% social security contributions.

Annual income above Annual income below Tax rate[68]
€0 €5,963 0%
€5,963 €11,896 5.5%

Germany

Taxable income is derived after subtracting personal and child allowances from earned income. In addition a number of other deductions may be claimed by German taxpayers.

  • Personal allowance: €9,000 per adult
  • Child allowance: €7,428 per child
Annual income above Annual income below Marginal tax rate 2018[69]
€0 €9,000 0%

€13,996 €54,949 23.97% − 42%
€54,949 €260,532 42%
€260,532 - 45%

In Germany, married couples are taxed jointly. This means that the tax liability for the couple is twice the amount resulting from the tariff when inserting the average income of both spouses. Due to the progressive tariff, filing jointly uniformly reduces the total tax burden if spouses' incomes differ.
