The dataset captures standard top statutory corporate income tax rates levied on domestic businesses. This means:
The dataset does not reflect special tax regimes, including but not limited to patent boxes, offshore regimes, or special rates for specific industries.
A number of countries levy lower rates for businesses below a certain revenue threshold. The dataset does not capture these lower rates.
A few countries levy gross revenue taxes on businesses instead of corporate income taxes. Since the tax rates of a corporate income tax and a gross revenue tax are not comparable, these countries are excluded from the dataset.
Some countries have a separate tax rate for nonresident companies. This dataset does not consider nonresident tax rates that differ from the general corporate rate.
