根据《福布斯》数据显示，2005年中国税负全球排名第二高，《福布斯》发表的2007年数据显示，中国继续是亚洲经济体中税务最重的国家，全球排名第三，福布斯最新的税负痛苦指数是在2009年发布的，中国税负痛苦指数为159，在公布的65个国家和地区中仍高居第二。连续发布的《福布斯》税负痛苦指数，必须引起中国政府官员的高度重视。而且中国官方则对中国税负重的问题表示质疑，中国社科院财贸研究所税收研究室主任张斌认为，税负痛苦指数是科学性较差的一种算法，在反映税负高低问题上有几个重大缺陷。

总的来说，中国的税负是处于一个高点，如何更好的发挥税收的作用，将税收转化成为惠及民生的福利是中国政府面临的一个难题。同时，中国官方必须正面面对《福布斯》关于中国税负沉重的问题，及时出台相应的政策，让本来就不富裕的中国民众早日卸下中等发达国家税负水平的重负，全国人大要尽早回收，废止税收授权立法，收回税收立法权。尽快走向税收法定。中国的税制亟需改革，直接税是低，但过多和过重的间接税让中国民众不堪税负，努力降低税收的社会成本，减少因为税收而带来的经济扭曲，只有这样民众才能幸福，社会才会更加和谐。
