Again according to the OECD, the country with the highest national income tax rate is the Netherlands at 52 percent, more than 12 percentage points higher than the U.S. top federal individual income rate of 39.6 percent.

\n

However, if Trump was talking about marginal corporate tax rates, he would be closer to correct if he said that the U.S. has the highest top marginal corporate tax rate in the OECD countries, though in the entire world the United Arab Emirates and Chad still have higher tax rates.

\n

According to the OECD, the U.S. corporate rate is 39 percent (including an average of state and local taxes), while the OECD's unweighted average is 25 percent. Those figures account for stated tax rates, before deductions and credits. Estimates of the effective rate after deductions and credits vary, but a report by the Congressional Research Service found the U.S. effective rate was lower than the OECD weighted average and a survey of estimates by the Tax Foundation did not identify any study that found the U.S. effective corporate rate to be the world's highest.

\n

Notwithstanding our high corporate tax rate, the U.S. is not close to being the highest-taxed country in the world.

20 High Tax Rate Countries 2023

\n

When it comes to taxes, the United States Tax System has two major flaws. The first flaw is that the United States taxes individuals on their worldwide income. Therefore, even if a Taxpayer resides outside of the United States and earns all of their income from foreign sources –the United States is still be able to tax their income just as if they worked in the United States and earned US sourced income. The second flaw is the unnecessarily high tax rate. High income earners can end up paying nearly 41% tax and even more if they are self-employed and/or have state tax responsibilities (such as California, New York and New Jersey). But, before you decide to pursue your Plan B, give up your US citizenship or permanent residency and seek refuge elsewhere, it is important to know that the United states is not the only high taxed country across the globe. Rather, there are some countries that have even higher tax rates, so let’s take a look at 20 other high tax rate countries.

\n

Which Countries Have Highest Individual Tax Rates?

\n

Let’s take a look at some of the highest taxed countries across the globe for taxation of personal income as opposed to corporate income (noting, that these tax rates are the highest tax rates in the country and that oftentimes the country will have a progressive tax rate so for taxpayers who earn smaller income they may have a lower percentage of tax).

\n

These rates typically exclude self-employment and other related taxes.
