Approach

Save the tax rates table to the JSON file and use the array to represent each level, each of which is in the following format: minSalary, maxSalary, baseTax, taxEachDollar. And using -1 presents for unlimited maxSalary.
By loading the tax rates table file, calculate the amount of tax in the case of different annual salary.
Use node-optimist to get the input file, the output file, and the tax rates table parameter. And use the node-csv to load different files.
Use Mocha and Chai for testing
Add incorrect formatting input file processing code.

Assumptions

There is no header with the input file;
The delimiter of the csv file should be ','(comma);
The input data format should be: first name, last name, annual salary, super rate (%), payment start date;
The size of input file should small than 20MB or less than 500K lines;

Exceptions Handle

Wrong columns input line will be ignore;
Empty input file will be ignore;
