                             Key  Findings



                                OECD   countries rely heavily on consumption taxes, such as the value added tax,

                                and social insurance taxes, such as the payroll tax.



                                The  United States relies heavily on the individual income tax, at 38.7 percent of

                                total government tax revenue.



                                On  average, OECD countries collect little from the corporate income tax (8.5

                                percent of total tax revenue).
