The Faroese tax level is decreasing, reports Statistics Faroe Islands.

In 2022, the tax level in the Faroes was 40.6% of GDP, which is the lowest since 2016.

The tax level is the total amount of taxes and duties collected expressed as a percentage of GDP.

Public tax revenues amounted to just over DKK 10.2 billion last year. This is an increase of DKK 621 million (6.5 percent) on 2021.

The Faroese tax level is at a similar level to that of the mainland Nordic countries, while it is slightly higher than that of the western Nordic countries.

Tax levels in the Faroes, Norway and Finland have historically been at similar levels, while Denmark has had a slightly higher level.
