2 FOREWORD For any business looking to set up in a new market, one of the critical deciding factors will be the target country s tax regime. What is the corporate tax rate? What capital allowances can we benefit from? Are there double tax treaties? How will foreign source income be taxed? Foreword Since 1994, the PKF network of independent member firms, which is administered by PKF International imited, has produced the PKF Worldwide Tax Guide (WWTG) to provide businesses with the answers to these key tax questions. This handy reference manual provides clients and professional practitioners with comprehensive international tax and business information for over 100 countries throughout the world. As you will appreciate, the production of the WWTG is a huge team effort and I would like to thank all the member firms of the PKF network who gave up their time to contribute the vital information on their country s taxes that forms the heart of this publication. I would also like thank Richard Jones, PKF (UK) P, Kevin Reilly, PKF Witt Mares, and Rachel Yeo and Scott McKay, PKF Melbourne for co-ordinating and checking the entries from within their regions. This year s WWTG is the largest ever reflecting both how the PKF network is growing and the strength of the tax capability offered by member firms throughout the world. I hope that you find that the combination of reference to the WWTG plus assistance from your local PKF member firm will provide you with the advice you need to make the right decisions for your international business. Mark Pollock PKF Perth Chairman, International Tax Committee of the PKF network I

4 PREFACE The (WWTG) has been prepared to provide an overview of the taxation and business regulation regimes of over 100 of the world s most significant trading countries. In compiling this publication, member firms of the PKF network have sought to base their summaries on information current as of 30 September 2009, while also noting imminent changes where necessary. Preface On a country-by-country basis, each summary addresses the major taxes applicable to business; how taxable income is determined; sundry other related taxation and business issues; and the country s personal tax regime. The final section of each country summary sets out the Double Tax Treaty and Non-Treaty rates of tax withholding relating to the payment of dividends, interest, royalties and other related payments. While the WWTG should not to be regarded as offering a complete explanation of the taxation issues in each country, we hope readers will use the publication as their first point of reference and then use the services of their local PKF member firm to provide specific information and advice.
