countries that make the most from taxes

34: Mexico - 19.5%




The country with the lowest tax bill of all those ranked is Mexico, with an average tax-to-GDP ratio of 19.5%. Latin America's second-largest economy is making significant tax changes to reduce its reliance on oil revenues – which has been bad news for many workers' pockets. For example, over the past two years it has hiked the top income tax bracket to 35% and introduced an 8% junk food tax.
 
33: Chile – 19.8%




Next on the list is Chile, where the various taxes make up 19.8% of GDP. That's slightly lower than the country's biggest earner, the export of copper, which makes up 20% of its income
 
32: South Korea – 24.6%




South Korea's tax bill has increased slightly from 24.3% in 2013 to 24.6% in the latest analysis. As an insight into the nation's tax system, companies face corporation tax of up to 24% depending on how much profit they make, while for individuals the highest rate of income tax is 41.8%.
 
31: United States - 26%




The US features surprisingly low down on the list, with an average tax rate of 26%. However, the nation's true tax bill might be slightly higher as the country doesn't impose a national VAT on goods and services, instead charging different rates of retail sales taxes.
 
30: Switzerland - 26.6%




Despite its reputation as a tax haven, Switzerland still makes 26.6% of its income from this source. Unlike most European countries, the level of tax residents pay depends on where they live as each of the municipalities, or cantons, set their own levels of tax.
 
1: Denmark - 50.9%




Obviously a Scandinavian nation was going to top the list, but it's still remarkable just how far ahead Denmark's tax take is. At 50.9% it's 5.5% higher than the nation in second place and 7% higher than any of its Scandinavian neighbors. And it seems to be on an upwards trajectory: between 2013 and 2014, Denmark's tax ratio jumped 3.3% – more than any other nation on the list

Danes enjoy a high standard of living and the country ranks highly in some metrics of national performance, including education, health care, protection of civil liberties, democratic governance, prosperity and human development.[10][11][12] The country ranks as having the world's highest social mobility,[13] a high level of income equality,[14] has one of the world's highest per capita incomes, the least corrupt country in the world, and has one of the world's highest personal income tax rates.[15] A large majority of Danes are members of the National Church, though the Constitution guarantees freedom of religion.
