Mazars Central and Eastern Europe Tax Guide 2022

The guide provides up-to-date information on taxation in 22 European countries, including labour costs, taxation of company profits and transfer pricing. The guide serves long-term investment decisions by analysing long-term tax trends and fundamental changes in tax regimes, both in comparison with each other and with previous years.

In addition to the Visegrad Group, the guide analyses the tax regimes of the countries of South-East Europe, Germany, Austria, Moldova, Ukraine and the Baltic States, focusing on changes and trends in tax regimes.

Key findings:

• The tax gap in the region remains relatively wide, ranging from 15% to 51%.
• Countries maintain a different approach to income taxation and tax relief for families with children.
• VAT remains the main source of tax revenue in the countries listed; digital technologies have visibly improved the efficiency of tax collection.
• There are still significant differences in the approach to corporate taxation in the region. Only one country has reduced its corporate income tax rate compared to last year.
