What a company's investment is actually taxed at: OECD's forward-looking effective average tax rate (EATR), effective marginal rate (EMTR) and cost of capital for a composite investment under fixed interest and inflation, beside the statutory combined corporate rate from the Rules hub, with the gap in points — what allowances and incentives are worth. country for one, countries for a side-by-side, neither ranks by metric (eatr default; emtr, costOfCapital, gap), lowest first unless sort=highest. 39 of the 41 spine countries are modelled; the Philippines and the UAE keep their statutory rate with a caveat and never a borrowed effective rate. A property of the tax system, not any company's bill. Published rates and facts on the dates shown, for information only — not tax, legal or immigration advice; every response says so first.
