Where does the data come from?
Official sources, how the receipt is calculated and what is left out.
The receipt counts personal income tax (IRPF) and social security contributions for a permanent employee with no children or deductions. You also pay VAT and excise duties every time you buy something: they are not included because they depend on what you spend. And since public administrations spend more than they collect, part of the spending is paid for with debt.
