Comparison of tax rates around the world is a difficult and somewhat subjective enterprise. Tax laws in most countries are extremely complex, and tax burden falls differently on different groups in each country and sub-national unit. Of course, services provided by governments in return for taxation also vary, making comparisons all the more difficult, for example, in many European nations, government sponsored national health care provision is paid for from taxation, while in other countries health care is normally paid for with private insurance. The lists below give an indication by rank of some raw indicators.
