Taxing Work (and Saving) Well: Building a Competitive Individual Tax System

  How a country taxes work and saving shapes labor supply, entrepreneurship, and long-term investment. Competitive systems pair moderate top rates with sensible thresholds, keep the marginal tax wedge in check, avoid add-on surtaxes, and minimize the second layer of tax on dividends and capital gains. This guide sets out a practical reform blueprint—especially relevant...

Territorial vs. Worldwide: Designing Cross-Border Rules that Attract Investment in a Pillar Two World

  Cross-border tax rules can either welcome global capital or push it away. The strongest regimes are simple and predictable: territorial systems that exempt foreign dividends and capital gains, streamlined withholding taxes supported by robust treaties, and anti-avoidance rules that protect the base without choking ordinary finance. Even with the rise of the global minimum...

Property Taxes with Purpose: Designing Less-Distortive Capital and Real-Estate Levies

  Well-designed property and wealth taxes can raise stable revenue with fewer side effects. Poorly designed ones act as direct taxes on capital—discouraging new construction, renovations, and business expansion, while spawning compliance costs that do little to grow the real economy. The International Tax Competitiveness Index (ITCI) 2025 is explicit: jurisdictions that tax land only...

Broad Base, Lower Rate: The VAT Design That Supports Competitiveness

Well-designed consumption taxes are workhorses of modern fiscal systems: they raise substantial revenue with relatively low distortion—but only if they’re broad-based, neutral, and avoid taxing business inputs. The 2025 International Tax Competitiveness Index (ITCI) splits consumption taxes into rate and base subcategories for a reason: a system that applies a moderate rate to a very...

From Incentives to Simplicity: Trimming Corporate Tax Complexity Without Losing Competitiveness

Corporate tax complexity is a stealth tax on investment. Multiple rates and surtaxes, a maze of special incentives, and “other” profit-type levies inflate compliance costs, cloud after-tax returns, and push capital toward lobbying rather than productive activity. The International Tax Competitiveness Index (ITCI) 2025 explicitly measures these frictions: countries with multiple corporate brackets, surtaxes, turnover-style...

Corporate Taxes and Growth: Getting Rates, Bases, and Cost Recovery Right

Corporate income tax (CIT) design does far more than raise revenue. It shapes the cost of capital, influences where businesses build and expand, and ultimately affects productivity, wages, and prices. In the International Tax Competitiveness Index 2025 (ITCI), the corporate tax category is decomposed into three levers—rate, cost recovery, and incentives & complexity—because these are...

Competitiveness vs. Neutrality: The Two Pillars of Modern Tax Design

Tax systems do more than collect revenue; they shape where capital flows, how firms invest, and how households work, save, and spend. The International Tax Competitiveness Index (ITCI) 2025 provides a rigorous framework for assessing how well a country’s tax code advances two foundational goals: competitiveness and neutrality. Competitiveness keeps marginal tax burdens low to...
