One year earlier, it was 42.6 per cent. The tax ratio fell because tax accruals grew slower than GDP in nominal terms. The tax rate has last been this low in 1987. In 2010, the accruals of taxes and compulsory social security contributions totalled EUR 76.0 billion, which is around three per cent more than in the year before.

The total accrual of taxes and compulsory social security contributions went up by 6.3 per cent from the previous year and stood at EUR 77.2 billion. Nevertherless, the tax ratio declined from the year before as GDP grew by 7.6 per cent in nominal terms. The net tax ratio, i.e. the tax ratio less current and capital transfers and subsidies paid to the private sector, rose by 0.5 percentage points to 22.3 per cent. The explanation to the development in the tax ratio is that the public transfers grew more slowly than GDP and the accrual of taxes and compulsory social security contributions.
