Corporate Tax Rate
Statutory corporate income tax rate (CIT) as a percentage. The statutory rate does not capture the full effective tax burden (deductions, incentives, loss carryforward rules) but is the most comparable cross-country metric and the first number entrepreneurs see when evaluating jurisdictions. Zero-tax havens: UAE (0% for non-petroleum, introduced 2023), Bahrain (0%), Qatar (0%), Monaco (0%), Bahamas (0%), Marshall Islands (0%), Nauru (0%), Palau (0%), Tuvalu (0%), Vanuatu (0%). Low-tax leaders: Turkmenistan (8%), Montenegro (9%), Hungary (9%), Barbados (5.5%), Liechtenstein (12.5%), Cyprus (12.5%). High-tax jurisdictions: Malta (35%), Argentina (35%), Colombia (35%), Australia (30%), Germany (30%), Japan (30%). Note: effective rates after optimization often differ significantly from statutory rates for large multinationals.
