Why does the Brazilian feel they live in the country that pays the most taxes in the world!
📊 1) Total Tax Burden — Brazil does not pay little tax
The first common fallacy is looking only at the top marginal income tax rate and saying "in Brazil it's only 27.5% compared to 56% in Finland." This comparison ignores the full concept of total tax burden (all taxes collected relative to GDP).
According to official OECD data, many Nordic and European countries have total tax collection rates above 40% of GDP—Denmark, Finland, Sweden, Austria, Belgium—while the OECD average is around 33.8%.
