But to assess the role of employment to each sector?s income declared by the employment, the share occupied by personal income tax on the salaries of public sector versus private sector has been analysed. The private sector holds 83% of the total employees versus 17% that belong to the public sector in 2013.
The report is oblique with regard to its weight of the personal Income tax in each sector. Namely, the public sector generates 51.9% of the total personal income tax from wages versus 48.1% in the private sector. To put it in simple words, the number of persons working in the public sector is about four times lower than in the private sector, but wages declared by each sector have approximate values. This indicates lower payments or tax evasion in the private sector.

Taking PIT income from wages and number of employees for each sector we calculated an index of PIT average annual pay for employees in the public and private sectors. It is evident that greater fiscal burden have employees in the public sector, who pay about 5 times more than workers in the private sector. This element refers the generation of low income declared in the private sector versus the public one.
