In the European Union, approximately half of all tax revenues are generated by taxes on labor income, with a further 27.5 percent of revenues coming from consumption taxes, while only a fifth came from taxes on capital. Over the past decade, the composition of total tax revenues in Europe has remained generally stable, with slight increases in the share of revenues generated by capital taxes, and slight declines in the share generated by labor taxes.
