In Sweden your tax information as a citizen (and business) is typically public. I can call the tax agency and ask for information about last year's filed income tax for e.g. the prime minister as long as I have enough information to find a distinct person. A popular product is the "Taxation calendar" - similar to a phonebook but with income data for people instead of phone numbers [1]. Many people find this convenient as it reduces risk in economic transactions (data is typically used by credit companies). For an interesting discussion on public disclosure of tax information see [2]. On top of that civil servants salary rates are generally considered public, but you have to ask for the data. Recurring articles in the media compares the salaries of men and women, politically employed civil servants etc. Regards, Peter [1]: http://www.taxeringskalender.com/ [2]: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/14/business/yourtaxes/14disclose.html?_r=0
