World Bank Global Marginal Effective Tax Rate Database Report

This report provides an overview of the World Bank Global Marginal Effective Tax Rate (METR) Database. To compare tax burden on investment across countries, a database of METR on investment in four main asset types – Equipment, Building, Land and Inventory was prepared for 95 countries. The database is freely accessible through an open-source platform: https://github.com/Revenue-Academy/METR. It will be updated every year to expand the coverage and revise the tax parameters such as corporate and personal income tax rate, tax depreciation rates, and investment related allowances and deductions. A python based interactive tool has also been developed, which allows calculation of METR for a specific country based on user inputs. The tool has a user-friendly graphical user interface and will allow policymakers to simulate the impact of changes in underlying parameters on the METR.
