Within the framework of the current debate about company taxation in Germany, there were repeated calls from the media asking the Centre for European Economic Research (ZEW) to create an overview of the effective average tax burden (in per cent) of companies in Germany and 22 other European states. The researchers evaluated several ZEW studies and calculations from 2003 and 2004. The full texts can be downloaded from the ZEW Taxation Platform.
