摘要

This article introduces the new International Tax Institutions (ITI) database, a unique collection of the most relevant statutory tax indicators for the whole world. It includes taxes on corporate and personal (earned and capital) income, consumption taxes, as well as anti-tax avoidance rules (thin-capitalization and earnings-stripping rules, CFC rules and transfer pricing regulations). Our main objective is to provide a broad overview on key features, (time- and cross-sectional) variation, and regularities in the data, with a focus on international tax issues. We present a vast number of new variables – such as effective tax and institutional measures – that allow for a comprehensive description and comparison of countries’ taxes and tax systems.
