    Taxing Wages 2008
    SPECIAL FEATURE: CONSUMPTION TAXATION AS AN ADDITIONAL BURDEN ON LABOUR INCOME
    OECD | 2009 | ISBN: 9264049339 9789264049338 9789264062191 | 490 pages | PDF | 8 Mb

    This annual publication provides details of taxes paid on wages in all thirty Member countries of the OECD. The information contained in the Report covers the personal income tax and social security contributions paid by employees and their employers and cash benefits received by families.

    Taxing Wages provides unique information on income tax paid by workers and social security contributions levied on employees and their employers in OECD countries. In addition, this annual publication specifies family benefits paid as cash transfers. Amounts of taxes and benefits are detailed program by program, for eight household types which differ by income level and household composition. Results reported include the marginal and effective tax burden for one- and two-earner families, and total labour costs of employers.



    The objective of the Report is to illustrate how personal income taxes and social security contributions are calculated and to examine how these levies and cash family benefits impact on net household incomes. The results also allow quantitative cross-country comparisons of labour cost levels and of the overall tax and benefit position of single persons and families.
    The Report shows the amounts of taxes, social security contributions and cash benefits for eight family-types, which differ by income level and household composition. It also presents the resulting average and marginal tax rates. Average tax rates show that part of gross wage earnings or total labour costs which is taken in tax (before and after cash benefits) and social security contributions.
    Marginal tax rates show the part of an increase of gross earnings or total labour costs that is paid in these levies.
