In this paper we present a computer-based model (so-called European Tax Analyzer) for the international computation and comparison of company tax burdens. The methodology follows the forward-looking concepts for the measurement of effective average tax rates (EATR) on the basis of a model-firm....

Die Messung der effektiven Steuerbelastung rentabler Investitionen ist mit zahlreichen methodischen Problemen verbunden. Diese lassen sich zum Teil mit einem auf Devereux und Griffith zurückgehenden Modell überwinden. Basierend auf ihrem Ansatz wird eine Maßgröße für die effektive...

The measurement of the effective tax burden on profitable investments encounters many methodological problems. Some of them can be overcome by using an approach presented by Devereux and Griffith. Based on their methodology, we develop a measure for effective tax rates for profitable investments...

The taxation of dividends in Germany underwent major changes. We analyze the implications of these changes for the valuation of DAX futures contracts and test the resulting hypotheses empirically. We find that dividend taxation cannot explain the level of deviations from the cost-of-carry...

This paper explores the empirical properties of alternative measures of the taxation of income from capital, using UK data over the last thirty years. We analyse measures of effective marginal and average tax rates, based on applying the legal parameters of the tax system to a hypothetical...
