2019 Worldwide Corporate Tax Guide - Ernst & Young
Worldwide Corporate Tax Guide
2020
Preface
Governments worldwide continue to reform their tax codes at a historically rapid rate. Taxpayers need a current guide, such as the Worldwide Corporate Tax Guide, in such a shifting tax landscape, especially if they are contemplating new markets.
The content is straightforward. Chapter by chapter, from Albania to Zimbabwe, we summarize corporate tax systems in more than 160 jurisdictions. The content is current on 1 January 2020, with exceptions noted. In general, this Tax Guide does not reflect any COVID-19 tax policy measures. For the latest developments, access the EY Tax COVID-19 Response Tracker here.
Each chapter begins with contact information for the key people in that jurisdiction's EY member firm offices. Symbols precede the names of individuals who hold the following functions: National director of the listed tax specialty Director of the listed specialty in the local office
We then lay out the facts about the jurisdiction's corporate taxes, beginning with an at-a-glance summary. With some variation, the topics covered are taxes on corporate income and gains, determination of trading income, other significant taxes, miscellaneous matters (including foreign-exchange controls, debt-to-equity rules, transfer pricing, controlled foreign companies and anti-avoidance legislation) and treaty withholding tax rates.
At the back of this Tax Guide, you will find a list of the names and codes for all national currencies and a list of contacts for other jurisdictions.
For many years, the Worldwide Corporate Tax Guide has been published annually along with two companion guides on broadbased taxes: the Worldwide Personal Tax and Immigration Guide and the Worldwide VAT, GST and Sales Tax Guide. In recent years, those three have been joined by additional Tax Guides on morespecific topics, including the Worldwide Estate and Inheritance Tax Guide, the Worldwide Transfer Pricing Reference Guide, the Global Oil and Gas Tax Guide, the Worldwide R&D Incentives Reference Guide, the Worldwide Digital Tax Guide and the World wide Capital and Fixed Assets Guide.
Each of the Tax Guides represents thousands of hours of tax research. They are available free online along with timely Global Tax Alerts and other great publications on or in our EY Global Tax Guides app for tablets.
You can keep up with the latest updates at GlobalTaxGuides, and find out more about the app at TaxGuidesApp.
