The tax systems follow the trend to the upside favored since the financial crisis that erupted in 2008.

An analysis of the burden of taxation by countries reveals that the fiscal pressure [measured as tax revenues to GDP ratio] varies from 16.2% in Mexico up to 46.2% of France. Spain is slightly below the area average of the OECD, with 33.7%. Although compared with the countries of our environment, our tax burden is far from the eu average. Of the 34 countries analyzed, 20 states are within five percentage points of the OECD average (34.2 per cent). Since 1995, the dispersion of taxes between countries has fallen and the international trend is moving towards a gradual tax harmonisation.
