Scandinavian Tax Rates. Below are some examples of the Scandinavian countries’ tax rates, as per PriceWaterhouseCoopers’s tax summaries*: Sweden. Population: Roughly 10 million. National income tax rate: 25 percent (top rate) Municipal income tax rate: 32 percent; Value-added tax rate: 25 percent on “All other taxable goods and services” Top personal income tax rates are rather high in Scandinavian countries, except in Norway. Denmark’s top statutory personal income tax rate is 55.9 percent, Norway’s is 38.4 percent, and Sweden’s is 57.1 percent. A comparison of tax rates by countries is difficult and somewhat subjective, as tax laws in most countries are extremely complex and the tax burden falls differently on different groups in each country and sub-national unit. If the U.S. tax code was as flat as Denmark’s, someone earning roughly $70,000 would face a top marginal tax rate of 46.3% (source: page 30). That’s simply the first layer of taxation, as all Scandinavian countries have a 25% value-added tax on purchases (the equivalent of a sales tax). It must be said, however, that Scandinavian countries do impose a high personal tax burden on their citizens. When local and national rates are combined, Swedes earning above SEK 662,300 (€63,717) face a 57 percent income tax (see Fig 1). High earners in Denmark can also expect more than half of their pay cheque to go to the government, while the highest bracket in Norway stands at 46.6 percent.
