Tax Treaty Aggressiveness
Tax treaty aggressiveness
About the indicator
When a country agrees tax treaties with very low or zero tax rates with other countries, it allows multinational corporations to shift their profits out of countries where they operate, employ staff, or make sales, and underpay tax as a result. This indicator assesses the aggressiveness of a country's tax agreements with other countries by examining the withholding tax rates on dividends, interests and royalty payments.
