Effects of taxes and benefits

This data-driven infographic example was redesigned from the Wikimedia Commons file: File:Effects of tax and benefits on household income in the UK 2011 - 2012.png. "Before taxes and benefits, the richest fifth of households had an average income of £78,300 in 2011/12, 14 times greater than the poorest fifth, who had an average income of £5,400. Overall, taxes and benefits lead to income being shared more equally between households. After all taxes and benefits are taken into account, the ratio between the average incomes of the top and the bottom fifth of households (£57,300 per year and £15,800 respectively) is reduced to four-to-one."
