US Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney expects to pay about $6.2m (£4m) in taxes on income of $42.5m in the last two years.
That makes for tax rate of 13.9% in 2010 and an expected rate of 15.4% in 2011, his campaign said.
His income places him among the top earners in the US and his taxes have become a campaign issue.
Mr Romney was an early favourite in state primaries but lost the latest, in South Carolina, to rival Newt Gingrich.
Mr Gingrich released his tax figures on Saturday, saying he paid nearly $1m last year, a rate of about 31%.
On the same day he won a striking victory in the South Carolina vote, beating Mr Romney with more 40% of the vote.

Now, I don't begrudge the man his success, nor do I think he should pay more taxes than he owes.
However the fact that people that wealthy pay such a small percentage is not right in my mind. I will take some heat for it but I believe the tax code should be simplified and the loopholes closed. If you want to cap the max taxes a person can pay that's fine, because spending 6.2M on taxes is a ton of money, but I do not see how these numbers work when others in the same bracket have to pay 30,35, or 40%. It shouldn't be that the guy making whatever the cut off is for the top bracket to be taxed at that rate and then once you hit 1M suddenly the rate starts dropping.
