Mazars Central and Eastern European tax guide 2022

The guide offers up-to-date information on taxation in 22 European countries, including labor costs, corporate profit taxation, and transfer pricing. The guide serves long-term investment decisions by analyzing long-term taxation trends and fundamental changes in the tax regimes, both in comparison with each other and to previous years.

The guide analyses the tax regimes of the South-Eastern European countries, Germany, Austria, Moldova, Ukraine, and the Baltic States, focusing on changes and trends in the tax regimes.

Key findings:

• The region's tax wedge remains relatively wide, ranging between 15 and 51%.
• Countries maintain a characteristically different approach to income taxation and tax relief for families with children.
• VAT remains the prime source of tax revenues in the listed countries; 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 reduced its corporate profit tax rate from last year.
