The International 2019 has a nominal prize that has the potential to change someone’s life! This year, the first winner has the right to bring home $ 15,603,132 USD. And, OG became a ‘lucky’ team with two times become the peak of the most phenomenal stage triumph in the universe of DOTA 2. But, is that the same amount received by the players? Let’s get to point!
They might have felt the ‘sudden get rich’ euphoria at last year’s celebration, but now each member may be more mentally prepared. Upon returning OG players to their respective countries, they must fulfill their obligations as good citizens, namely paying taxes!
Last year, when OG won TI8, Topson had a chance to confide in his winning money which was cut by up to 60% on state taxes. Most likely, Topson continues to experience the same thing this year.
That is, if OG shares an average of $ 15 million USD in winnings to five players, then each gets $ 3 million USD. The amount of tax paid by Topson is $ 3 million USD x 60% = $ 1.8 million USD. Is it annoying? What about other OG player courtiers?
JerAx – Finland
Support 4 mainstays OG has the same citizenship as Topson. So, maybe he is obliged to pay a nominal tax as big as the midlaner’s, which is about $ 1.8 million USD.
Notail – Denmark
Living in a Scandinavian country is indeed prosperous, but it is all due to taxes that are so high. Notails from Denmark did not escape the high tax cuts. Denmark applies income tax of up to 55% for certain income earners. So, the amount of deduction that Notail must pay from TI9’s winnings could reach $ 1,650,000 USD.
Ceb – France
France is no less great when it comes to taxation. In fact, in the past a demonstration had taken place among various groups of people such as footballers, artists, and others, accompanied by the migration of French residents to other regions due to the 75% tax policy implemented by former president, Francois Hollande.
Fortunately, the French tax does not currently burden as much as before, although it is still fairly high. The amount of individual income tax, France applies a minimum tax of 40% with the highest ratio of 59.60%. About that number is still the same as that charged to Topson and JerAx. Ceb also had to sincerely give part of the championship worth $ 1.8 million USD as a form of good citizen contributions.
Ana – Australia
Ana was fortunate enough to come from a different continent with his colleagues. But still for someone who earns more than $ 180,000 USD, Australia imposes a tax of 47% for its citizens. If rounded up, Ana loses half of the $ 1.5 million winnings to be used as income tax.
However, due to a good tax management system in Europe, all of the tax contributions are used for public facilities such as health, education and good transportation, and are fully subsidized by the state. So you don’t have to lose a big tax for the country, because you feel like a hero who can contribute greatly to the lives of many people.
