Statutory tax schedules from the OECD, compared or ranked. Given countries (two or more ISO alpha-2 codes), returns side by side the corporate income-tax rate (combined central plus average sub-national, central only, and a small-business rate where one exists; OECD Corporate Tax Statistics, all 41 spine countries) and, for OECD members, the top personal income-tax rate with the earnings threshold at which it starts as a multiple of the average wage, plus the marginal rate with employee social contributions at that point (OECD Tax Database, 26 of the spine). Without countries, ranks the spine by one metric. A country OECD's PIT flow does not cover has no personal block and is dropped from a PIT ranking, never scored 0. Rates are statutory, not effective: incentives, surtaxes and special regimes are outside the data, and this does not replace the blended take-home profiles behind compare_contract. Statutory figures for information only — not legal or tax advice; every response says so first.
