Dear collegues! If I understand this "graduate rate" thing right (I'm not a native speaker and, surely, no economist, either :)), it appears that you are trying to blend corporate AND individual income taxes together. Don't you think this is a bit confusing and still doesn't really say how much taxes exactly people (or corporations) pay around the world? How about we create separate lists within this article for corporate income taxes, individual income taxes and other taxes? What do you think? KNewman 14:01, Dec 16, 2004 (UTC)
- At least in the U.S. the graduated bit means that people with different incomes pay different rate. It has nothing to do with businesses. Rmhermen 21:05, Dec 17, 2004 (UTC)
There are some discrepancies here. For all the graduated rates, some are quoting the lowest rate as the tax on the very first dollar (usualy 0%) and some on the first taxable dollar. For example Canada is given as 16%, when in fact the first dollar you earn is taxed at 0%, same as most places. Can we agree to either a) quote the rate for the lowest taxable dollar - this would probably be more useful since almost everywhere has a 0% tax bracket - or b) put 0% as the lowest rate for everywhere that has a tax-free allowance.

- Can we either: change this to Income tax rates around the world, or include other taxes? It is quite misleading as it is, even if factually acurate.
BTW the individial tax rate in Saudi Arabia is currently 0% not 20%.
[edit] Capital gains tax
Needs a column for Capital gains tax.
Hello... I have changed the corporate tax for Denmark, as it from 2005 is 28%, not 30%. I'll see if there is other places too, where it needs to be changed. http://www.tax.dk/artikler/selskabsskat.htm --62.107.138.48 18:09, 24 January 2007 (UTC)Liv, Denmark
[edit] Contradictions in the list with other articles
the articles about Flat tax and Income tax#Countries with no personal income tax have information contradicting (or missing) the current list:
missing:
- Georgia - flat tax
- Andorra, Vanuatu and others - 0%
contradicting:
- Saudi Arabia - 20% vs. 0%
- Serbia, Lithuania, Ukraine - flat vs. non-flat
