Original Note:
The map is misleading: no one is paying that taxes in those countries. Taxation is progressive, meaning tax rates increase with income. The map displays only the highest rate, applicable to a portion of the highest earners' income. Actual effective tax rates are much lower: https://www.esri.ie/system/files/publications/RS110_technical%20appendix.pdf
