Greece finds itself in the unenviable “top spot” of the OECD’s list in terms of tax hikes in surveyed member-states, with relevant tax revenues in the thrice-bailed out country posting the highest increase over the 2007-17 period.
Specifically, the Greek state’s tax revenues in 2017 reached 39.4 percent of GDP, compared to 31.2 percent of GDP in 2007 – an increase of 8.2 percentage points.
The figure was the highest among OECD member-states.
The OECD average in 2017 is 34.2 percent.
