Low earning Brits would relish a Scandinavian tax system, Swedens lowest rate is 0%, increasing to 57% depending on your income.
Bet they wouldn't...
The personal allowance in the UK is £12,500. Income tax then starts at 20%
The personal allowance in Sweden is a little over the equivalent of £1500. Income tax then kicks in at 32%.
Then there's VAT (20% UK, 25% Sweden) and Duty on booze which is pretty much criminal. Thought I'd bought the whole bar a round, not just my three mates, the first time I visited.
As to NZ and Aus, the Skilled Occupations Lists for both list a hell of a lot of Med jobs.
