The latest Data on Taxation Trends, released on 10 March, reveals key insights into the EU's tax landscape. EU-27 Member States collected EUR 6,711 billion in taxes in 2023, an increase of 4.7% compared to 2022. However, the growth of nominal GDP in an inflationary economic context resulted in a fall in tax revenues as share of GDP (from 39.7% in 2022 to 39.0% in 2023). France (43.8%), Denmark (43.4%) and Austria (43.1%) were the EU-27 countries with the highest tax burden, while Ireland (21.9%), Romania (26.2%) and Malta (26.6%) registered the lowest rate.
