Summary:1. International comparisons of tax levels across countries are never perfect, but the comparison of Iceland with other Nordic and OECD countries is particularly difficult. This is because, in contrast to most OECD countries, compulsory pension contributions are made to institutions outside government-and thus, appropriately, they are not counted as taxes. This fact is reflected in Iceland's comparatively low government revenue from social security contributions. One way to circumvent this difficulty is to compare tax levels that exclude social security contributions in Iceland and in other countries. Alternatively, Iceland's tax revenue can be augmented with the compulsory contributions paid into pension funds, and the resulting level compared with the tax levels of other countries (this time including social security contributions). Both methods point to a similar conclusion: Iceland's tax level as a proportion of GDP is among the highest in the OECD.
