Alphabet paid nearly $19 billion in taxes, according to cash taxes paid on the cashflow statement (a much better proxy for income taxes paid).

That equates to ~26.5%. 65% higher than your average tax rate, and higher than the 21% corporate income tax rate.

That’s not the info shown on this chart. And worth noting that that would be roughly the effective tax rate of someone earning 200k. That’s not a poor person by any stretch, but definitely nowhere near 19 billion.
