Example is Denmark had Corp tax of 50% in 1985, it is now 22%. 2018 max individual rates are 57% Sweden, 55% Denmark & 48% Norway BUT that comes with excellent social system benefits.
I *think* you are talking about Norway & its 48% personal income taxation maximum so I agree, but thought it unnecessary to burden my reply with extraneous to the point that the Scandinavian trio are no longer at 110% taxation.
Now if you want an eye-opener referencing expensive government costs, look at what Finland & Switzerland did with progressive speeding fines. " Back in 2002, former Nokia director Anssi Vanjoki was caught driving 47mph in a 30mph zone on his motorbike and was fined $103,600. More recently, in 2015, Reima Kuisla, a Finnish businessman, had to pay $62,000 for driving 15mph above the 30mph speed limit. The Guinness World Records claim for the largest speeding ticket belongs to a Swiss man who was caught driving 85mph in a 50mph zone in St. Gallen, Switzerland. He was fined for $290,000 US Dollars. The man was driving a Ferrari Testarossa, and the fine was based on his 22.7 million dollar wealth. The fine was made higher as he was a repeat offender."
