Nope I think you need to check again - It says those figures are for 2002, not last years data, but besides and I shall say this again, this data is for income TAX only. There is dozens of other TAXES.

The strength of the Pound compared to other currencies probably offsets the percentage rates of those higher VAT rates in other countries. So we probably still end up paying that little bit more.
