At the conclusion of each month, the government receives the total tax deduction from all employees, as well as any superannuation deductions paid to various superannuation organizations. The records must also include the sums of the wages and other payments made to each individual employee.

Usually the calculation of payments withheld from employee salaries is income tax, which is not only calculated from employee salaries but also bonuses, overtime wages and other income, while pension funds will be deducted from employee salaries according to what has been determined. Meanwhile, for labor insurance, there are some companies that pay the premium costs of workers, so they don't reduce employee salaries.

It's always indicated in my salary payment receipt the amount of tax I'm being charged on my pay every month. There's no way to evade it.
