Yes, I believe the numbers were specifically with federal taxation. Comparing taxation etc. in countries with subnational entities that can raise revenue is always a headache. While I gave Sweden as an example, I was initially comparing against Canada as that's where the topic came up in the discussion I had. We also have some flat income tax provinces too. A straightforward comparison would not be easy.
