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. It is published by OECD and updated annually."},{"question":"How current is this data?","answer":"The most recent observation covers 2025. OECD typically publishes this series with a lag of several months after the reference period.
