Taxing Wages: Country note for the Netherlands

The Netherlands levies arelatively high tax and social security burden on labour income compared to other OECD countries, except on single parents with low earnings who saw their tax burden strongly decrease between 2000 and 2011.In 2011, for average one-earner couples with 2 children, the average tax wedge (income taxes plus employee and employer social security contributions minus cash transfers as a percentage of totallabour costs) was 5 percentage points higher than the OECD average. For single taxpayers without children and two-earner couples with 2 children it was about 1 to 2 percentage points above the OECDaverage. In contrast, single parents earning 67% of the average wage faced a tax wedge that was almost 5 percentage points below average.
