Liechtenstein Income Tax Calculator
Liechtenstein uses a progressive income tax system with a top rate of 20%. Combined state and communal tax. The national scale tops out at 8%, and municipalities add a surcharge of at least 150% of that tax; rates here assume the minimum 150% surcharge, so tax in higher-surcharge municipalities is somewhat higher.
