                             Key Findings

                                  In general, large industrialized nations tend to have higher statutory corporate
                                   income tax rates than developing countries.

                                  The worldwide average statutory corporate income tax rate, measured across
                                   208 jurisdictions, is 23.03 percent. When weighted by GDP, the average
                                   statutory rate is 26.47 percent.

                                  The average top corporate rate among EU countries is 21.68 percent, 23.69
                                   percent in OECD countries, and 27.63 percent in the G7.

                                  Europe has the lowest regional average rate, at 18.38 percent (25.43 percent
                                   when weighted by GDP). Conversely, Africa has the highest regional average
                                   statutory rate, at 28.81 percent (28.39 percent weighted by GDP).

                                  The worldwide average statutory corporate tax rate has consistently
                                   decreased since 1980, with the largest decline occurring in the early 2000s.

                                  The average statutory corporate tax rate has declined in every region since
                                   1980.
