I'm interested in tax rates from other EE countries.

For the Beginning:

Serbia's VAT (value added tax): - general 18%, reduced rate 8%

Corporate Tax is 10% percent. It is the lowest in Europe!!! :)

So please post your tax rates...

Ok I just did a search because I was curious who this Olaf character is you guys were refering to, and I must say his posts are some of the smartest posts I have ever read. He was highly intelligent, insightful, and a wealth of knowledge. I wish he was still here because I would really enjoy conversing with him. And I am really confused as to why he was banned because he never broke any rules. A great loss to his forum... :(

Anyways to get back on topic... The funny thing about tax in Europe is that the countries with flat taxes (flat taxes are very capitalist) are all former communist coutnries. They are now even more capitalist than the rest of Europe, which is moving toward socialism or already there!

Lennart Henriksson, I wonder how you searched for his posts. Searching is disabled, isn't it? ;)
yes I decided to keep that post in because it is so hilarious
^Good thing you did!

I kinda feel bad, we've hijacked Sumadinac's thread. :(
Lennart you are one of a kind :doh:

Are you sure? I've heard that in Estonia it's 0% (but there's some catch to it, like the investor is only exempt from paying CIT if he invests what would have normally been the taxed sum back into Estonia). Or correct me if I have it wrong.

Slovenia:
VAT - 20%
Reduced Rate - 8.5% (food, basic necessities)
Corporate tax - 25% (28% according to some sources)

With this new tax reform though, the taxing got screwed up, so now they're planning a reform of the tax reform.. :D

As i know the tax rate of the 10 percent is the lowest, following with 12.5% in Ireland.

But it could be that with an amount of investments, the taxpayer gets tax holidays...

If you invest in Serbia more than 8.5 million Euro or create more than 100 jobs, you dont have to pay taxes for 10 years (0%)...maybe its similar in Estonia...

well, we're going to have linear(?) tax AFAIR next year and that will be 19%, but our 0% tax (books etc.) will be raised to 3%(?)
when PO wins the next election they're talking of creating a flat tax at I belive it was 15% or somehwere around there. - fingers crossed.
VAT in Singapore only 5%? That's the way to go :eek:kay:

on the other hand I think Vat is better than other kind taxes- it is simply more difficult to omit paying it :) So I think that Vat should replace other taxes.
Poland:
VAT 22%, 7%, 3% and 0%
Income Tax 19% 30% 40%
Income Tax for those who have their own buisness: 19% (linear)
Corporate Tax 19%
