Where to invest, from a tax perspective

A recent survey undertaken by Forbes magazine assessed that relative attractiveness of countries for capital investment and talent, using tax rates.

A related survey looked an employee happiness based on net income. Again the UAE came top, then Malta, Georgia, Russia and Hong Kong.
