The Government launches the Icelandic Income Database

The Icelandic Income Database is an interactive tool that examines changes in the financial position of different groups in Icelandic society. The data used is provided by Statistics Iceland and is gathered from domestic tax returns for the period of 1991-2019. The Icelandic Income Database was originally conceived as a tool for the government to use to better understand the potential impact specific changes in taxes and transfers might have on the financial wellbeing of different groups in society.

The Icelandic Income Database has three main features: Income and wealth, Income mobility and Gender and education. The website is icelandicincome.is
