It's not being taxed to death it is seeing that you get a good services for the amount of tax you pay.

Yes but paying an ever-increasing amount of tax and getting an ever-decreasing level of service makes it feel like we're being taxed to death.

I was trying to think of other European countries with good standards of living where while the tax take is more the levels of service are decent.

Denmark would be towards the top of my list under the expat scheme. A little over 30% tax in total seems about reasonable to me, although the expat scheme is obviously a specific carve-out, with much higher taxes in general.

I must say in spite of "packed" Tube trains I would still have thought London would have made the list.

London is one of the cities that has improved the most over the last 20 years.

Seriously looks like a great time to leave the country. But where to go? Which country wouldn't tax you to death and instead allow you to prosper and is good for kids' schooling and quality of life?
