Foreword

In 1994, following widespread reforms to the taxation of capital income and wealth in member countries, the OECD released a landmark report on Taxation and Household Savings. A range of recent developments make a re-examination of the topic timely. In particular, income and wealth inequality has increased in many countries. This has been brought into particular focus as a result of the 2008 global financial and economic crisis, leading to strong calls for greater taxation of capital income and wealth in many countries. Furthermore, ground-breaking changes are being made in the international tax environment to prevent capital income and wealth being hidden offshore. Meanwhile, concern about low levels of retirement savings persist, particularly in light of continued population ageing.

This report provides a detailed review of the taxation of household savings in 40 OECD and key partner countries in light of these and other developments. It examines the different approaches that countries take to taxing savings and calculates marginal effective tax rates to quantify the incentives created by these approaches; examines the distribution of asset holdings in a range of OECD countries; examines the recent changes in the international tax environment; and discusses the implications of the analysis for savings tax policy.

While countries do not necessarily need to tax savings more, the analysis shows that there is significant scope to improve the way countries tax savings to foster inclusive growth. Most significantly, there are opportunities for countries to increase neutrality in taxation across assets and thereby improve both the efficiency and fairness of their tax systems. At the same time, there remains a case for preferential tax treatment of private pensions in order to encourage retirement savings. There are also opportunities for improvement in tax design regarding private pensions and in a number of other areas such as residential property.

This report provides policymakers with the empirical evidence and the practical policy recommendations needed to ensure a more coherent and effective approach to the taxation of household savings.

Executive summary

Following the 2008 financial and economic crisis, there has been renewed interest in the taxation of household savings as a means of strengthening the efficiency and fairness of countries tax systems. Strong calls have come from civil society to increase capital taxation to address income and wealth inequality. Meanwhile, the recent move towards the automatic exchange of financial account information between tax administrations is likely to make it harder for taxpayers to evade tax by hiding income and wealth offshore.

This report provides a detailed and timely review of the taxation of household savings in OECD and five key partner countries in light of these and other developments. The report finds that, while countries do not necessarily need to tax savings more, there is significant scope to improve the way they tax savings. Most significantly, there are opportunities for countries to increase the neutrality of taxation across assets and thereby improve both the efficiency and fairness of their tax systems.

The lack of neutrality in the taxation of savings is illustrated by marginal effective tax rate (METR) modelling undertaken for 40 OECD and key partner countries across a range of potential savings options. METR modelling enables the impact of a wide range of taxes and tax design features to be incorporated into a single indicator. The results highlight significant variation in METRs across assets, with tax systems creating significant incentives to alter savings portfolio allocation away from that which would be optimal in the absence of taxation.

Private pension funds tend to be the most tax-favoured form of saving, with owner-occupied residential property also significantly tax-favoured. In contrast to owner-occupied residential property, rental property is often subject to relatively high METRs due to the application of progressive marginal personal income tax rates, capital gains taxes and property taxes. Bank accounts and corporate bonds also tend to be relatively heavily taxed in many countries.
