Austria remains a high tax and tax rate in the annual OECD comparison. The so -driven “control wig” for an average single person was 47 percent in the previous year. De Wig shows the difference between the costs of the employer and the net service.
On average of the 38 OECD countries, the value was 34.9 percent. Austria is in fifth place behind Belgium, Germany, France and Italy. The bottom of Switzerland is the bottom. In the previous year, Austria was much further in midfield with married only earners with two children. Here the operating wig is 32.7 percent.
In the case of married double earning pairs, the value was 37.4. In general, the tax wake for people or households with children is lower than those of people with children, because many OECD cups provide households with children a tax benefit or cash benefits.
Especially in Austria, some earners without children pay high taxes.
Some earners without children pay more taxes
According to the study “Taxing Wonen 2022”, De Wig was larger than in Austria in 2023 for some earners without children only in Belgium (52.6 percent), Germany (47.9), France (47.2) and Italy (47.1). Behind Austria there were Slovenia, Slovakia, Finland, Latvia and Sweden.
However, the average wages and income after taxes that were reclaimed in 2024, 2022 and 2023 had fallen in most OECD countries.
