Which Country Has the Highest Income Tax Rate?

Let’s see who knows their international tax facts.

If you mean the top marginal rate, it’s often listed as Côte d’Ivoire at about 60% (Aruba close), but it does change year to year. From experience, I double-check KPMG’s Tax Rates Online before answering any “international tax facts” threads so I’m comparing statutory top rates, not average or after-credits figures: Services. Small caveat: the headline rate isn’t what most people pay — are we counting local surtaxes too?
