Note the statutory rate is not the effective rate: deductions, incentives and the 15% global minimum tax all sit between the two. It is published by OECD and updated annually."},{"question":"How current is this data?","answer":"The most recent observation covers 2026. OECD typically publishes this series with a lag of several months after the reference period. The series runs 2000–2026 (27 observations)."},{"question":"What is the long-term trend?","answer":"The series peaked at 51.6 % combined statutory rate in 2000 and reached its lowest recorded value of 29.4 in 2009. The latest reading of 30.1 in 2026 is unchanged on the previous period."}]}
