About this page
This page collects the statutory tax rates that the OECD publishes for United Kingdom. Rate structures differ between countries: some levy sub-central corporate taxes on top of a national rate, and some do not; consumption taxes are named differently across jurisdictions (VAT, GST) but are compared here on the same basis — the standard rate. Each block above prints the latest published value, a short history, and the source line for that series. Where a series shows Not tracked, the OECD does not publish it for this country, and no value is estimated in its place. Figures are republished unmodified; see the methodology and sources pages for how selection, ranking and formatting work.
How to read the numbers: every value here is a statutory rate published by the OECD, shown for the year it applies to. Corporate and personal income tax series run from 2000 where the OECD publishes them; VAT/GST values are the standard rate as at 1 January of each year from 2005. A Not tracked row is a gap in the OECD's tables, not a zero — a missing figure is never filled with an estimate, an average of other countries, or a rate taken from another year. Each series carries its own source line, and values are republished unmodified; selection, ordering and the year-over-year change are the only edits applied. The page is rebuilt whenever the OECD updates its tables. Where a rate looks surprising, the source line under the table is the quickest way to check what the figure measures and which year it reflects.
