Abstract
The paper presents an analysis of personal income tax burden for taxpayers from OECD countries, depending on their socio-economic situation. Taxpayers were divided into 7 socio-economic groups. Each group represented a certain level of income, an additional criterion was whether the taxpayer was materially responsible for children or not. The study was conducted based on the data provided by OECD for the years 2000–2013. The study shows that the overall PIT burden fell in years 2000–2010, however since 2011 to 2013 there was an increase in both the level of taxation and the number of tax rates for all analyzed groups. This increase related mainly to people working and raising children.
