@mushi Well, the other problem is that there are different types of taxes. One country might have a higher tax on payrolls (before returns or deductibles) than another but that other country might have higher individual tax. There's also sales taxes, and some countries might only have GST while other countries have harmonized their sales taxes. Don't forget things like property tax, which can vary from country to country and not even exist in some. There's even taxation on corporate and international levels administrated on a federal level whereas a lot of countries could also have specific tax laws held in state or province. Speaking from a very general point of view you could categorize taxation as either income or capital gain but once you get into more specific rates and conditions the concepts and differentiations between countries become more complex.
