06/10/2006 - Tax revenues, measured as the ratio of tax to GDP, continue to rise in many OECD countries despite deep cuts in tax rates, according to the latest edition of the OECD’s annual Revenue Statistics to be published on Wednesday 11 October 2006. This reflects both the effects of stronger economic growth, which has led to higher corporate profits, and also moves in some countries to offset the effects of cuts in tax rates by broadening the tax base and improving tax compliance.
Jeffrey Owens, Head of the OECD’s Centre for Tax Policy and Administration, and Christopher Heady, Head of the Tax Policy and Statistics Division, will comment on the data contained in this year’s Revenue Statistics and on related tax reforms at a media briefing at OECD headquarters at 11.30 a.m. on Wednesday 11 October.
To register for the media briefing or obtain a copy of the report, journalists are invited to contact the OECD's Media Division (tel. 33 1 45 24 97 00).
