Income taxes by countryIncome tax is paid in almost every country in the world. The exceptions are few and far between - at the end of 2022, there were only 18 countries in which no income tax had to be paid. First and foremost are the tax havens of Monaco, the Cayman Islands and Bermuda. We have the complete list at the bottom.
In all other countries, the state wants its share of the income. So on wages and salaries, capital income, rent and leasing and many more. We have shown here for 39 countries how much tax is due in which country.
All figures refer to the year 2022.
