Finding personal and corporate tax rates – OECD Tax Database

The  OECD Tax Database is a comprehensive source on corporate and personal tax rates for a number of countries – as stated on the homepage the Tax Database ‘provides comparative information on a range of tax statistics – tax revenues, personal income taxes, non-tax compulsory payments, corporate and capital income taxes and taxes on consumption – that are levied in the 34 OECD member countries.’

Data is both current and historical, and many series have coverage dating from 1981. The data is provided in Excel spreadsheet format so it is very easy to download.
