About this Dataset

Germany recorded 30.1 % combined statutory rate in 2026. That is unchanged on the previous period. Across 2000–2026 the series ranges from 29.4 in 2009 to 51.6 in 2000.

This page tracks the combined statutory corporate income tax rate in Germany — central government plus any sub-central or surtax component, which is the figure normally quoted for cross-border comparison and is often materially higher than the headline central rate alone. Note the statutory rate is not the effective rate: deductions, incentives and the 15% global minimum tax all sit between the two.

Data sourced from OECD via SDMX REST API. This is the statutory rate, not the effective rate: deductions, incentives and the 15% global minimum tax all sit between the two.
