Average Tax Rates

While the tax scale is a bit flatter after the changes in the budget, it is still a highly progressive system when you look at the overall average at various levels.

  • Those earn up to $40,000 pay no more than 15%
  • Those who earn up to $70,000 pay no more than 20% income tax
  • Those who earn up to $110,000 pay no more than 25% income tax

In other words 67% of taxpayers will be paying no more than 15% average income tax.

88% of taxpayers will pay no more than 20% income tax.

The 12% of taxpayers will still pay 49% of all income tax, which estimate is over 90% of net income tax!
