<p>The nation of <a href="https://commonplacefacts.com/tag/Mali/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mali</a> has two income tax brackets &#8212; 3% and 30%. Which one would you fall in? That&#8217;s entirely up to you.</p>



<!--more-->



<p>People registering at the tax office are simply&nbsp;told, &#8220;You have the choice between two income tax regimens, 30% or 3%, which shall it be?&#8221;</p>



<p>As it turns out,&nbsp;no one expects anyone to choose the 30% option. By having a choice, it makes people think they are getting a bargain, so they are less likely to complain and will be more likely to pay what they owe.</p>
