The situation in every country is, of course, much more complex than this. In the US, the federal rate is 35%, and state taxes range from 0 to 12%. In the UK, different rates apply for smaller companies with earnings up to £300k, although the rates have changed dramatically in both directions in recent years. very annoying when you run a games company...
Japan also has varying rates based on the size of a company.
