摘要

Through an analysis of Tax Misery Index, this paper shows the inadequacy of the Index and its inconvenience for ranking tax burden in china. Thus, we think that the Tax Misery Index is not a full reflection of a country's actual level of tax burden, though has its implication for a general understanding. We then described China's current rapid growth of tax revenue and specific characteristics of its tax burden, and through international comparisons, point out the trend of China's tax burden and the related tax reform.
