Paying Taxes 2015

The Paying Taxes report is a joint publication published annually by PwC, and the World Bank Group. This year marks the ninth year of publication. The report is built on the World Bank Group’s Paying Taxes indicator within their Doing Business project with an analysis and commentary by PwC.

The Paying Taxes indicator measures tax systems from the point of view of a domestic company complying with the different tax laws and regulations in 189 economies around the world. The case study company is a small to medium-size manufacturer and retailer with specific assumptions, deliberately chosen to ensure that its business can be identified with and compared worldwide.
