A country's Tax Freedom Day is the point in the year when a nation has theoretically earned enough money to have paid off its taxes, meaning that all of the money earned after that date is yours to do with as you please. But which countries shake off the taxman the quickest? We compare how long it takes 29 countries to pay off their taxes based on figures from professional services network Deloitte, unless otherwise stated.
All calcuations are based on the average taxpayer for each country, meaning that the exact Tax Freedom Day for each person will vary.
