The Tax Foundation’s publication Corporate Tax Rates around the World shows how statutory corporate income tax rates have developed since 1980, with data for over 200 jurisdictions for the year 2023. The dataset we compiled for the years 1980 to 2023 is made available as a resource for research.

Scope

The dataset compiled for this publication includes the 2023 statutory corporate income tax rates of 225 sovereign states and dependent territories around the world. Tax rates were researched only for jurisdictions that are among the around 250 sovereign states and dependent territories that have been assigned a country code by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). (The jurisdictions Netherland Antilles (which was split into different jurisdictions in 2010) and Kosovo (which has not yet officially been assigned a country code) were added to the dataset.) As a result, zones or territories that are independent taxing jurisdictions but do not have their own country code are generally not included in the dataset.

In addition, the dataset includes historic statutory corporate income tax rates for the time period 1980 to 2022. However, these years cover tax rates of fewer than 225 jurisdictions due to missing data points. Please let Tax Foundation know if you are aware of any sources for historic corporate tax rates that are not mentioned in this report, as we constantly strive to improve our datasets.

To be able to calculate average statutory corporate income tax rates weighted by GDP, the dataset includes GDP data for 181 jurisdictions. When used to calculate average statutory corporate income tax rates, either weighted by GDP or unweighted, only these 181 jurisdictions are included (to ensure the comparability of the unweighted and weighted averages).

Definition of Selected Corporate Income Tax Rate

The dataset captures standard top statutory corporate income tax rates levied on domestic businesses. This means:

The dataset does not reflect special tax regimes, including but not limited to patent boxes, offshore regimes, or special rates for specific industries. A number of countries levy lower rates for businesses below a certain revenue threshold. The dataset does not capture these lower rates. A few countries levy gross revenue taxes on businesses instead of corporate income taxes. Since the tax rates of a corporate income tax and a gross revenue tax are not comparable, these countries are excluded from the dataset. Some countries have a separate tax rate for nonresident companies. This dataset does not consider nonresident tax rates that differ from the general corporate rate.

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 **** percent. Other countries with high taxes on top earners included France, with a top rate of **** percent, Austria, with a top rate of ** percent, and Spain, with a top rate of ** 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 ** 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.

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.
