Fiscal Map

Their “Best” ranking is misleading. But interesting idea.

Design is pretty messy. Even GPT models without the frontend-design skills can do spacing better, but I'm sure it's a GPT product - the live indicator & monologues on the page are clear giveaways.

Also, I would say some of the data is quite flawed, especially tiered taxes and/or factoring in contributions. If your tax is lower on dividends but the country is super aggressive in PE or CFC, you will be using a local company and paying two sets of taxes. If you are self-employed in Europe and "developed" countries, you will be paying contributions that are often higher or comparable to the tax itself. The fact that "True Tax Burden" is lower than even one of the contributions (or just slightly higher than the headline PIT rate) on an EU country makes it a very bad indicator of the total tax burden.

$1,500 per year for university being marked as Expensive is also somewhat strange. As a former US student, I consider $1,500 as a tuition to basically be a gift. And that disadvantages of some Latin American countries are expensive properties in the city (while such a marker is not listed for EU ones with far higher prices), that territorial tax countries reflect a higher burden than most EU. Weird.
