Tax money

Where does our tax money go?

Good to know (click to read)

"All governments" means the national government, the regions, the municipalities and social security together. Money one government gives to another is only counted once.
Not all of this money comes from taxes. Part comes from social contributions on your wages, and part is borrowed by the government.
The final figures for a year only appear during the following year. That is why the most recent year is not the current year.
Amounts are in euros of that year, so not adjusted for inflation.
Source: Eurostat, the European statistical office. Every country supplies its figures under the same European rules, so you can compare countries.

The figures have not been fetched yet.
