Effective tax rate on entering employment

This dataset shows the proportion of earnings that are lost to either higher taxes or lower benefit entitlements when a jobless person takes up employment. It is commonly referred to as "Participation Tax Rate (PTR)" as it measures financial disincentives to participate in the labour market. Data are presented from 2001 onwards.
