About this Dataset
Italy recorded 28.6 % of gross earnings (tax + employee contributions) in 2025. The latest change was -1.6pp. Across 2000–2025 the series ranges from 28 in 2005 to 31.5 in 2019.
This page tracks the combined personal income tax and employee social security contribution rate in Italy for a single person with no children earning 100% of the average wage — the OECD's standard comparison case. This is NOT income tax alone: employee social contributions are included, so the figure is materially higher than a headline income tax rate. Household type matters too — a one-earner couple with two children faces a different rate in most countries.
