What can you tell me about countries with high taxes?

Question

i have a history review for my midterms and i can't find this answer

Answer 1

countries with high taxes usually have free healthcare, free schooling, many free aid programs. im talking about countries with like 40-60% tax rates......i believe thailand has one of the highest
high tax rates means u earn say... 100,000k every year. then u would pay 60,000k for a 60% tax rate

Answer 2

You'll find high taxes in the developed nations. High taxes = high standards of living and vice versa. Scandanavian countries have a history of very high taxes (>50%). Usually these countries offer many more social services to their citizens than low- or no-tax countries, and therefore their citizens are better educated and live longer.

I'm from Sweden. They have the highest tax rate in the world. Personal income tax is around 60%, along with other indirect taxes. The UK and the US don't even compare to Sweden.
