Yes.

One needs to be a little cautious in my experience when looking these things. Key gotcha is a significant difference in what your tax payment buys you.

E.g. tax in the UK gets you access to the NHS but tax in the US doesn't get you access to an equivalent service.

So, when I first looked at these figures I was surprised that Germany was below us until I recalled that quite a lot of their health care is organised on a non-state collective basis - often through unions (IIRC).

I recall being slightly surprised when an acquaintance who lived in New York told me that he was paying 40% income tax. Which is about the tax rate I’d expect a person doing his job to be paying in the UK.

Then I remembered that he’d be paying (or having paid on his behalf) medical insurance.

Not sure what the VAT or equivalent rate is in New York.
