the percentage they ARE paying is due to decrease next year until 2013
see my update to post #1756 which might explain the decrease.
(Assuming that the salary bill is constant for the whole year, 12.2% for the first 3 months then 22.6% for 9 averages out at 20% over the whole of 2008)
Those with a 'grasp of very basic maths' should note that the result is not 17.4%! (I used Excel)
