Tax responses to COVID-19

With tax playing an important role in the response to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the OECD has compiled the tax policy measures taken by governments to support households and businesses with the economic challenges of the crisis. 

The database compiles the tax measures that countries implemented, legislated or announced in 2020 and early 2021. Data was collected from 66 countries, including all OECD and G20 countries, and 21 additional Inclusive Framework on BEPS members that replied to the OECD Tax Policy Reform Questionnaire. It contains information on countries’ tax measures across corporate income taxes and other business taxes, personal income taxes and social security contributions, value added taxes and other consumption taxes, environmentally related taxes, property taxes and other taxes.

Taxes on labour income

Explanatory notes

Each country provides detailed information on the data presented within the personal income tax rates and social security contributions tables.

Non-tax compulsory payments (NTCP)

Non-tax compulsory payments (NTCPs) operate in a similar way to taxes in that they serve either to increase the employer’s labour costs or to reduce the employee’s net take-home pay. 

Published: April 2021
Source: Non-tax compulsory payments

Table notes

In many OECD countries employers have to make compulsory payments on behalf of their employees which do not qualify as taxes and social security contributions. The OECD has therefore calculated a set of compulsory payment indicators which are designed to show the combined impact of taxes and NTCPs net of benefits.
