Key Findings

    In 2017, OECD countries raised one-third of their tax revenue through
      consumption taxes such as the Value-Added Tax (VAT), making consumption
      taxes on average the most important revenue source.

    Social insurance taxes and individual income taxes were the second and
      third most important sources of tax revenue in the OECD, respectively, at
      approximately 25 percent each, a change from 1990, when individual income
      taxes accounted for more revenue than social insurance taxes.

    On average, OECD countries collected little from the corporate income tax
      (9.2 percent) and the property tax (5.7 percent).
