A recent OECD report highlights the differences in income between the highest earners in the world and the rest of the population, and puts forward proposals tax reforms that could reverse the trend. Most OECD countries have reduced their top rates of individual income tax during the past thirty years and this has influenced the higher income growth of the highest one percent. Reductions in other taxes, such as tax on dividend income and corporate income tax, have contributed to the trend.  The OECD discussed inequality during the OECD Week beginning on 5 May 2014, including the Annual Meeting of the OECD Council at ministerial level.
