If you're self-employed the tax rate is ~70%, at least for lawyers in germany. Source: My self-employed gf.

And no, she does not earn 5 figures, 4-6k gross per month with 1 part-time employee for the bureaucracy stuff (bills, phone service, faxing, scanning etc.). With a 60 hour week.

Your girlfriend does not pay 70% tax. This is mathematically impossible if you actually look at all tax rates.

No, she doesn't.

You must be counting all kinds of other expenses. Professional insurance or bar membership, for example.
