A report cited by multiple outlets says the United Kingdom has the highest property tax burden among major economies. The analysis, attributed to global tax firm Ryan, compares property taxes across countries as a share of gross domestic product (GDP). According to the report, the UK ranks first globally on this measure, indicating that property-related taxes take a larger proportion of economic output in the UK than in other major economies. One outlet notes the difference is not marginal, implying the UK’s position is a clear outlier rather than a narrow ranking. The reporting focuses on the comparative metric—property taxes relative to GDP—rather than on how the UK’s property taxes are structured. Overall, the sources present a consistent finding: the UK tops a cross-country ranking for property taxes as a percentage of GDP based on Ryan’s analysis.
