Which Countries Have the Highest Tax Rates? 

So, how much money do you wanna tax? French Government: Oui

A half the world was already assembled

People of the US: Please lower our taxes, they're so high! *Laughs in french*

So that's why the yellow vests are protesting

I'm French, I created a company. I had no customer and no revenue, but I was taxed anyway 🤔

No one : France : Let's put taxes on taxes ( I'm French, and this is not a joke, we really have taxes on taxes )

0:05, I think this is the first time that Greenland has actually had data

What's funny is that Québec is the most taxed province of Canada... We speak French haha

*No data about Romania?* *_Hmmm...I wonder why?_*

In Belarus the government does not tax you, the tax governments you.

As a romanian it's so sad to see my country in the no data list, knowing all of the corruption here it's not a surprise

North Korea Taxe Revenue : 99% Rest of the world : C'est honteux !

Assembling countries by the date of its independence/creation

Rest of the world: Fills up Europe: I dont exist Romania: ???

I thought we in Denmark finally had a chart where we would be number one. France took our time in the spotlight.

*When you start a revolution over taxes but have higher taxes than the country you fought against*

How much money do french people pay in taxes for breathing?

Is anyone else surprised that Australia had no data?

France: highest rates Me: oh so the revolution was on purpose?

I make data visualizations myself, and I have to say one thing- Your visualizations are really beautiful...

The problem is not the taxe but rather what is done with the taxe money.

France had invented taxes... normal to be number one !!!! :P

So true, as a French tax payer. I was used to live in Germany, the lower taxation was a breath of air.

I'm living in Belgium, we have high taxes... Elections are coming and everyone promises to lower taxes, they get elected and make taxes even higher. Yep by 2030 Belgium will be at the top of this list :-/

You are living on the Earth France: There's a tax for that

*C'est Le Épique.*

(Breaking News!) millions of people move to kuwait

Can you make a Video top 50 or top 100 about the biggest dictators in the world? :)

Greece number 8 how the f do we even live with those payments

Me, waiting until Belgium is finally the worst on the list... Belgium: 3d *mission failed, we'll get em next time*

Great video

Oh I have a good idea? Can you please do Assembling the World by intelligence? (Somehow Lol.) Someone has already done it, but I’d like to see how you’d do it :-) Thanks!

Italy: everyone wants to visit it but nobody wants to live there

USA: HEYYY, we are the best country, the richiest country ! YAY! France: *Hold my baguette* France: *H O L U P*

I love how country appear synched with the music

Isn’t it ironic how Lesotho has the highest taxes in all of Africa when it also has the largest unemployed rate in the world, as well?

Italy one of the most in high taxes, one of the worst in public service

Finally Belgium is at least better in one thing than the Netherlands

Hungary: That's just the Tax rate, but hold my beer. Did you heard about Value Added Tax rates?

Kuwait : Why do have taxes? France: You wouldn't get it...

Top 30 - Let’s just list all of the countries in Europe...

New York: Hippity hoppity the #1 spot is now my property

Can you do one on number of college educated per capita or one on development level

Make a video on countries by WEALTH per capita (wealth per adult) according to new 2019 data

LA FRANCE ELLE VEUT JAMAIS ETRE DERNIERE DANS LE BIEN OU LE MAL 😂😂😂

I bet Italy is in the top 10 without even watching the video

Can you do population density?

I would probably change the title to what the video claims is actually bein shown: "Countries with taxes providing the highest percentage of their GDP." I'm no math whiz, but I can think of instances where a country's tax revenue % of GDP is not reflective of the tax rates citizens pay. Love the concept and visuals, just wondering if the title is misleading.

Merci de nous rendre la Nouvelle-Calédonie et Kerguelen ^^ notre géographie est complexe mais quand même !

I understand why the Yellow vest movement is so strong now

I like how I immediately got an ad on Brazil.

Where did you get your data of Switzerland from? Depending on the state u live u can pay 10% more or less taxes

Assembling the world by random factors

Music please ?

Would love to know the name of the background theme. Anyone?

Very surprised to see Australia already on the list at the start

Yesss, us Belgians are in the top 3 Oh wait... nvm

I have a somewhat dumb question: defining a higher/lower tax rate by the percentage it occupies in the overall gdp of a nation isn't a bit inacurate? For example: you could pay lower taxes, but if your nation has little diversity in its economy they will represent a higher percentage of gdp. Sorry if it's a very basic/dumb question my knowledge of economics is shallow to say the least.

From which app you do this

That music is a little bit too epic for this video.

Air: *exists* France: Hmm, there's a tax for that.

As an Austrian, that is why I cry when there's already tax papers

For anyone wondering about Australia’s the data I have is 2 years old but I can’t imagine it being too different from now. Have data from 2018 for revenues but no clear GDP figures. Australia’s GDP for 2017 was A$1.7 Trillion. The Govt supposedly collected A$445 Billion in taxes, these can be broken down into Income - 305 Billion (205 Billion from individuals) Sales - 65 Billion Excise/Customs - 38 Billion Indirect taxes - 8 billion Non taxation receipts (I.e Dividends and interest earned) - 29 Billion (18 billion of this being completely non taxtation stuff So .445 - .018 = .427 .427/1.7*100 = 25.1% of GDP Probably not the most accurate but hey I have it a go P.S All numbers are rounded to nearest Billion

No Data to Australia? What happened? Did they lost them in the fires?

I'd like to move in tax heaven's like Monaco, macau, Dubai, Luxembourg

I'd like to order a croissa- *YOU HAVE TO PAY TAXES!*

I am very surprised that my country has roughly "low" tax rates

France: Where's my *MUNEH*

who cares if tax evasion exists

Funny how the countries with the average best living conditions usually have higher taxes. Hmm

I dont think switzerland has that much taxes, because we pay 7.7% and I know that, for example in Italy it’s like 20%

that no data had me dead

I am just a random comment. You can ignore me

We’re at 49? Time for another revolution

why do you make a video on this subject if there are so many countries with no data

Backround sound name? HELP

Y’all talking about France but what about those Belgian homies...

Alright, considering the "France #1" ranking : I'd like to point something out regarding the definition of "tax" : in France, a large portion of private revenues is forcibly taken by State agencies to be allocated to social programs. Chiefly : retirement pensions (~14% of GDP) and health insurance (~11% of GDP), making just these 2 programs 25% of GDP. (Note : the money allocated to these 2 items is not referred to as a "tax" but as an "insurance contribution", since the State cannot take that money to do something else with it. Retirement and Healthcare are part of the "Sécurité Sociale", a public, monopolistic insurance company created in the 40's) Now, consider a hypothetical country in which pensions and health insurance are entirely privately run. That would be a 25% "tax cut" compared to France since the State doesn't take that money, but by no means an actual saving for the general population, who will either have to pay for it through "private taxes" (private healthcare plans or retirement funds) or not pay for it but settle for lower pensions and health services. A stellar example is the United States, where the GDP share for healthcare is ~15%, which is on average 8900 $ per inhabitant, 50% of which is public funds => That's 4450 $ / inhabitant of public contribution. Compare this to France with health expenses representing ~11% of GDP, which is 4200 $ per inhabitant, 80% of which is public funds => That's 3360 $ / inhabitant of public contribution. Let's call "individual health tax" (IHT) the last figure, i.e. the average amount of money forcibly taken by State agencies from private earnings to finance the healthcare system. And let's call "individual total health contribution" (ITHC) the first figure, i.e. the total average amount of money provided by each individual, be it to private or public institutions. In this example, the USA IHT is only 1.3 times that of France. However, its ITHC is exactly 2 times that of France. That's a pretty big difference. Granted, this is not the best example ; maybe I should have gone with retirement plans or another country like Germany. But I wanted to point out that in order to give a general idea of how "taxing" a country is to its citizens, we should also consider "private taxes", as well the average individual cost (rather than just considering plain cost/GDP, consider cost/inhabitant). There would be a lot to say about the personal freedom aspect, programs efficiency, and all sorts of stuff, but you get the point I'm trying to put across. Jesus, did I really spend 30 minutes researching, calculating, and redacting a RU-vid comment about taxation ? Anyway, lemme know if you spot an error in my argument, I'd be happy to correct it.

God I knew we would be in the last part of the classement but didn't think we'd be the first ?! Damn where's my yellow vest

No data about Australia??

#1 🇫🇷 👌

EU and NATO: I’m going to do what’s called a pro gamer move

is the higher the country is, the better tax revenue? Plz reply

I don't know how are you couy that's. In my fatherland - Poland average human pay >50% in taxes. It's really important to cout all taxes (with for example VAT)

1:France..... I’m not surprised. Happy anniversary Yellow Vest Protesters!

My country is in the top 15% lowest taxes :D

didnt expect Western Balkan countries to rank really high

1:01 no dizque chile era muy liberal?

Siamo al 6° posto... Nel nostro paese le tasse sono altissime ma i servizi pessimi. Il vero problema in Italia è la corruzione.

Eh... how does Iran fund it's army when it's so low on the list?! - Nationalised oil wells? - Taxation through tithes from the religious institutions? - Gofundme?!?

*when i saw singapore i was happy and sad. One, because it made the list. Two, now i know im broke in the future*

The Music please.

Libertarians: hold my free market :

Kuwait and Saudi Arabia first two 🇸🇦🇰🇼

Where do you make your map charts and how do you animate them? I just started a similar channel. Check it out.

A little surprised that belguim is so high on the list, but I was kinda expecting it. We pay way too much taxes especially the Flemish, and the worst part is: none of us can’t exactly say where that money goes. But everyone has a guess, my guess is that the most of the money goes to healthcare and pharmacy, we have very very good healthcare but the pharmacy companies are swimming in the money, in a bad way. Another big part goes to immigrant, especially Africans and Muslims. Another very big part goes to politicians, we have way to much politicians that earn way too much money. And the Walloon, the French speaking part, because they are poorer and receive transfers of Flemish money. But more and more Wallonia’s are starting to work so that’s good I think the French are in a similar situation but I’m not sure

A ps4 here brazil is 4.500.00

2:25 oh wait What france do in South America
