List of Taxes around the world

 

Comparison of tax rates around the world is difficult and somewhat subjective. Tax laws in most countries are extremely complex, and tax burden falls differently on different groups in each country and sub-national unit. The lists below give an indication by rank of some raw indicators.

Denmark is the most taxed country in the world with a tax-to-GDP ratio of 48.9%
 

 

 

 

This is a list of tax rates around the world. It focuses on three types of taxes: corporate taxes, individual taxes and sales taxes (value added taxes (VAT) / goods and services taxes (GST) / sales). Some other taxes (for instance property tax, substantial in many countries, such as USA) are not shown here. The table is not intended to represent the true tax burden to either the corporation or the individual in the listed country. Note that no distinction is made between "true" taxes, that pay for the government's general budget, and fees paid for specific social benefits such as health insurance or retirement pay. The way these benefits are paid vary by country, and the benefits paid for also vary by country.

Taxes are also imposed by many subnational entities. Taxes consist of direct tax or indirect tax, and may be paid in money or as its labour equivalent (often but not always unpaid labour). A tax may be defined as a "pecuniary burden laid upon individuals or property owners to support the government […] a payment exacted by legislative authority."[1] A tax "is not a voluntary payment or donation, but an enforced contribution, exacted pursuant to legislative authority" and is "any contribution imposed by government […] whether under the name of toll, tribute, tallage, gabel, impost, duty, custom, excise, subsidy, aid, supply, or other name."

The legal definition and the economic definition of taxes differ in that economists do not consider many transfers to governments to be taxes. For example, some transfers to the public sector are comparable to prices. Examples include tuition at public universities and fees for utilities provided by local governments. Governments also obtain resources by creating money (e.g., printing bills and minting coins), through voluntary gifts (e.g., contributions to public universities and museums), by imposing penalties (e.g., traffic fines), by borrowing, and by confiscating wealth. From the view of economists, a tax is a non-penal, yet compulsory transfer of resources from the private to the public sector levied on a basis of predetermined criteria and without reference to specific benefit received.
