Tax burden: Switzerland |
||||||||||||||||||||||
|
The recent OECD survey «Taxing Wages 2008» indicates that the tax burden on the average wage
earner in Switzerland is moderate compared with most other OECD member states. |

With a tax burden of 29.5%, Switzerland ranks at 7th, well ahead of other countries such as Luxembourg
(12), Germany (28) and Belgium (30). In Europe, only Iceland (6) and Ireland (4) are ranked ahead of
Switzerland. According to the OECD statistics, of 100 francs earned, an unmarried Swiss taxpayer gets to keep about 70 francs after taxes and social-security contributions. For comparison: Germans are left with 48 francs, while Belgian taxpayers keep just 44 francs out of 100. The OECD regularly publishes a comparative ranking of the tax and duty burdens imposed by its 30 member states. The burden is calculated, based on income tax minus cash transfers plus social insurance contributions, and also takes into account the tax deductibility of items. Tax Wages 2008 Top 10 Rankings |
