This booklet illustrates in a concise format the main findings from the 2012 edition of the report ‘Taxation trends in the European Union' issued by the European Commission Directorate-General for Taxation and Customs Union and Eurostat, the Statistical Office of the European Communities. All tables and calculations are taken from these sources. The report covers all EU Member States, Iceland and Norway. How high are taxes in Europe? Are tax levels increasing or decreasing? How is the tax burden shared between labour, capital and consumption? How does my country compare with the other Member States? This booklet analyses these and other questions. A statistical annex contains the main data by country and for the EU as a whole.
