Denmark is the European country with the highest top statutory income tax rate as of 2025, with the Nordic country having a top taxation band of 55.9 percent. Other countries with high taxes on top earners included France, with a top rate of 55.4 percent, Austria, with a top rate of 55 percent, and Spain, with a top rate of 54 percent. Many countries in Europe have relatively high top income tax rates when compared with other regions globally, as these countries have relatively generous social systems funded by tax incomes. This is particularly the case in Western, Northern, and Central Europe, where the social state is generally stronger. On the other hand, formerly communist countries in the Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) region tend to have lower top income tax rates, with Romania and Bulgaria having the lowest rates in Europe in 2024, with their top income tax brackets both being only 10 percent. These countries often have less well-developed social systems, as well as the fact that they must compete to retain their workers against other European countries with higher average wages. In spite of low-income taxes, these countries may take other deductions from employee's wages such as pension and healthcare payments, which may not be included in income taxation as in other European countries.

In 2024, the standard corporate income tax rate in the Philippines was set at ** percent. In comparison, the standard corporate income tax rates in Cambodia, Thailand, and Vietnam are at ** percent that year.

The average for 2022 based on 110 countries was 17.45 percent. The highest value was in Norway: 31.34 percent and the lowest value was in the United Arab Emirates: 0.58 percent. The indicator is available from 1972 to 2024. Below is a chart for all countries where data are available.

As of 2023, the average taxation rate for a single person without children who earned an average salary in the European Union was 29.67 percent of their total earnings. For a two-earner couple without children earning an average salary it was slightly less, at 29.57 percent, while for a single person without children earning 1.67 times the average salary, the rate of taxation in the EU was 35.16%. Having children greatly reduced the average rate of taxation, with a one-earner couple with two children in the EU only paying out 15.97 percent of their gross household earnings in taxes in 2023. Tax rates in Europe are generally quite high, due to the progressive income tax systems set in place during the 20th century in many countries, which require high taxation in order to fund generous social welfare systems. Belgium was the country with the highest average rates of taxation in 2023, with a high earning single person without children subject to pay almost half of their gross household earnings out in taxes. Other countries in North-western Europe such as Germany, Denmark, and Luxembourg also top the list for highest income taxation rates in Europe, while Cyprus was the country in Europe with the lowest average taxation rates in Europe during the same period. In both Czechia and Poland, single-earner families with two children actually saw the lowest average tax rates, due to the strong pronatalist policies in these countries and tax incentives for traditional single-earner households.

Approximately half of all tax revenues were generated by taxes on labor in the European Union in 2023, with an additional 26.9 percent coming from consumption taxes, and around 22 coming from taxes on capital. Sweden, Germany, and Austria were the European countries which generated the greatest revenue from labor taxes, with these countries being prime exemplars of traditional European welfare states which apply highly progressive taxes - i.e. the more income a person earns, the higher the tax bracket they are in - to labor income in order to be able to fund transfers and social services. At the other end of the scale are countries such as Croatia and Bulgaria, which generate the most of their revenues from consumption taxes. These countries tend to have lower rates of income taxation on their citizens and less robust systems of social welfare, therefore, the government funds its activities more from taxes on the consumption of goods and services.

OECD Revenue Statistics: Comparative Tables Introduction

The OECD Revenue Statistics database provides detailed and internationally comparable data on the taxes and social contributions paid by businesses and individuals in OECD countries. The data is collected annually from national governments and covers a wide range of taxes, including personal income tax, corporate income tax, social security contributions, and value-added tax.

Data

The database is divided into two main parts:

Part 1: Revenue by Level of Government This part of the database provides data on the total revenue collected by each level of government (central, state, and local) in each OECD country. The data is broken down by type of tax and by source of revenue (e.g., taxes on income, profits, and capital gains; taxes on goods and services; social security contributions).

Part 2: Revenue by Tax Type This part of the database provides data on the revenue collected from each type of tax in each OECD country. The data is broken down by level of government and by source of revenue.

Uses

The OECD Revenue Statistics database can be used for a variety of purposes, including:

Cross-country comparisons of tax levels and structures The database can be used to compare the tax levels and structures of different OECD countries. This information can be used by policymakers to assess the effectiveness of their tax systems and to identify potential areas for reform.

Analysis of the impact of tax policies The database can be used to analyze the impact of tax policies on economic growth, income distribution, and other outcomes. This information can be used by policymakers to design tax policies that are more effective and efficient.

Research on tax policy The database can be used by researchers to study the effects of tax policy on a variety of economic outcomes. This research can help to inform the design of tax policy and to improve our understanding of the economic effects of taxation.

Conclusion

The OECD Revenue Statistics database is a valuable resource for policymakers, researchers, and anyone interested in the taxation of businesses and individuals in OECD countries. The database provides detailed and internationally comparable data on a wide range of taxes, making it an essential tool for understanding the tax systems of OECD countries.

Data Access

The OECD Revenue Statistics database is available online to subscribers. Subscribers can access the data through the OECD's website.

As of 2023, approximately 46.5 percent of all tax revenues in the EU were collected by central governments, with an additional 35.9 percent collected by social security funds, such as pension funds and unemployment insurance funds. In more federalized European countries, such as Germany and Spain, a much higher share of tax revenues are collected by state governments, with approximately a quarter of German tax revenues being collected by federal states and 15 percent of Spanish revenues coming from the autonomous communities in 2023. On the other hand, several European countries generate the vast majority of their revenues from central government taxes, with this particularly being the case for the small island nation of Malta, whose central government collected 99.33 percent of its tax revenues.

The average for 2021 based on 123 countries was 33.55 percent. The highest value was in Macao: 63.13 percent and the lowest value was in the USA: 2.05 percent. The indicator is available from 1972 to 2024. Below is a chart for all countries where data are available.

This dataset presents information on historical central government revenues for 31 countries in Europe and the Americas for the period from 1800 (or independence) to 2012. The countries included are: Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Denmark, Ecuador, Finland, France, Germany (West Germany between 1949 and 1990), Ireland, Italy, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, Norway, Paraguay, Peru, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, the United States, Uruguay, and Venezuela. In other words, the dataset includes all South American, North American, and Western European countries with a population of more than one million, plus Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and Mexico. The dataset contains information on the public finances of central governments. To make such information comparable cross-nationally the researchers chose to normalize nominal revenue figures in two ways: (i) as a share of the total budget, and (ii) as a share of total gross domestic product. The total tax revenue of the central state is disaggregated guided by the Government Finance Statistics Manual 2001 of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) which provides a classification of types of revenue, and describes in detail the contents of each classification category. Given the paucity of detailed historical data and the needs of our project, researchers combined some subcategories. First, they were interested in total tax revenue, as well as the shares of total revenue coming from direct and indirect taxes. Further, they measured two sub-categories of direct taxation, namely taxes on property and income. For indirect taxes, they separated excises, consumption, and customs.
