I propose that salaried workers should be paid gross, and not just the official (worker's) gross, but the employer's total gross, which means the sum of the net salary, the worker's and employer's contributions and the income tax advance, i.e. the gross gross.
It is this total amount that the employer has to pay for the worker's work or as the entire cost of the worker's work. If the worker had not worked, then the employer would not have had this exact cost (the living wage), which means that the amount of the employer's cost of this work depends precisely on the sum of all the individual components listed, i.e. the net wage and all the benefits it gives rise to. There is also no difference between the employee's and the employer's contributions, both of which go to the State budget as revenue and even for the same purposes. It makes no difference whether the employee's salary is, for example, subject to a total of thirty per cent or to a twofold contribution of fifteen per cent for this purpose.
What sense, then, does my proposal make?
Neither the workers nor the State would have any problems at all any more as a result of non-payment of payroll taxes by employers, since such non-payment would no longer be theoretically possible. Workers would simply and honestly pay their own contributions and taxes on the basis of the wages they receive. Once they have received their full gross wages from their employer, they would pay the relevant taxes and contributions into the relevant accounts at the prescribed rates. To make it easier for them to do this, the employer would of course help them by calculating and writing the amount of the levy on their payslips and handing them the payslips when they are paid. This would leave the workers with the simple task of physically paying them.
The employer would then pay the money intended to cover the full cost of his work to the worker who did the work. In this way, it would be impossible for the employer to avoid the levies on which the work is burdened, which can only be to the benefit of the recipient of the taxes and contributions, i.e. the State. Workers would also benefit considerably, since they would never have to claim from their employers for any unpaid contributions.
