Comparison of English and American income taxes
An analysis shows England taxes income heavily while the United States taxes are modest. England imposes 44 percent on $1,000, while America taxes nothing for married or head of family. For unmarried individuals, rates rise with income but remain low and exemptions are larger in the U.S. The English rates increase steeply with higher incomes, reaching 25 percent at $15,000, whereas American rates stay well below English levels, with married rates near one-half to five percent for higher amounts, reflecting larger exemptions.
