Abstract: This aim of the article is to verify whether the crisis period 2008/2009 compared to the pre-crisis period of 2006/2007 significantly changed the average proportions of the main groups of taxes in EU countries, and whether development in tax mixes meet objectives of tax policy. It was found that a statistically significant increase occurred in the area of tax quota, significant change in the social security contributions, and significant decrease was observed in indirect taxation. The proportion of direct taxes also fell, but the decreasing is not statistically significant. The share of corporate tax revenues declined significantly, while personal income tax were unchanged. Changes in the average tax mix of EU countries are not always in line with expectations in terms of macroeconomic stabilization effects of taxes.
