Category:

Effective top statutory tax rate on corporate income reflects the non-targeted rate including surcharges and averages of local taxes. For Estonia the rate refers only to distributed profits; as from 2000 the tax rate on retained earnings is zero. The rate for Italy includes "IRAP" (rate 4.25%) a local tax levied on a tax base broader than corporate income. http://epp.eurostat.cec.eu.int/pls/portal/docs/PAGE/PGP_PRD_CAT_PREREL/PGE_CAT_PREREL_YEAR_2005/PGE_CAT_PREREL_YEAR_2005_MONTH_10/2-21102005-EN-AP.PDF
