Summary: Which countries in the OECD have the heaviest tax burdens, and which have the lightest? Which countries saw their tax burdens diminish in 2003, and which saw them go up? Answers to these and other questions will be provided in the latest edition of OECD's annual Revenue Statistics, to be published on 20 October 2004, along with a separate publication Tax Policy: Recent Trends and Reforms in OECD Countries which gives a comparative overview of the tax systems of OECD countries with details of recent changes. |
