Another myth (partially) debunked, then
Swedes pay less tax than others
Sweden has long been considered one of the most taxed countries in the world, but the middle class in at least 19 other countries pay more of their income to the state, according to a new report from KPMG.
...Sweden had a lower median tax rate than many countries, although top earners (above $300,000) were taxed 49.8 per cent which made them the fifth most taxed nationals (in that bracket) worldwide. And it still has the Europe’s highest tax bracket, at 56.6 per cent.
