What is the marginal tax rate if you pay 25000 in taxes on an operating loss of 100000?

The question cannot be answerd. Marginal (or effective rates for that matter), need to be based on taxable, (or perhaps in a convoluted way), book income. Certainly not on operating income, and note this is an operating loss! And not knowing anything else, the marginal rate, which is on the next level of income, we need to know if the rate changes at what level.

The top marginal tax rate was reduced to 58% in 1922, to 25% in 1925, and finally to 24% in 1929.

Why do the Scandinavian countries have high taxes?

According to the OECD, Denmark (26.4 percent), Norway (19.7 percent), and Sweden (22.1 percent) all raise a high amount of tax revenue as a percent of GDP from individual income taxes and payroll taxes. This is compared to the 15 percent of GDP raised by the United States through its individual income taxes and payroll taxes for instance. In order to raise a lot of income tax revenue, income tax rates in Scandinavian countries are rather high except for that of Norway. Denmark's top marginal effective income tax rate is 60.4 percent. Sweden's is 56.4 percent. Norway's top marginal tax rate is 39 percent. Scandinavian income taxes raise a lot of revenue because they are actually considered flat. In other words, they tax most people at high rates, not just the high-income taxpayers. The top marginal tax rate of 60 percent in Denmark applies to all income over 1.2 times the average income in Denmark. Sweden and Norway have similarly flat income tax systems. Sweden's top marginal tax rate of 56.9 percent applies to all income over 1.5 times the average income in Sweden. Norway's top marginal tax rate of 39 percent applies to all income over 1.6 times the average Norwegian income.
