What this measures

Combined statutory corporate income tax rate, in % of profit. Source: OECD. For this measure, no agreed better direction.

The headline tax rate on company profits, national and local combined, for over ninety countries and territories. That is the widest coverage of any OECD series here. It is the rate written in law, not the rate firms actually pay after allowances and tax avoidance. From a 2019 release kept as a snapshot, so the series ends in 2018. No "better" direction is set.
