Each guide is the country's calculator page: how the system taxes a salary, the bands and allowance in a table, worked examples at set incomes, and the questions people ask most about that country's tax. Where two countries are being weighed against each other, start with the comparisons.
Two countries, one salary: take-home pay side by side at several income levels, with the trade-offs written out for each pair.
