Tax rate
PROGRESSIVE TAX, PROPORTIONAL, OR REGRESSIVE.
A progressive tax is one in which the percent paid as tax rises as theamount rises (for example, personal income tax in many countries).
A proportional tax is one in which the percent paid as tax stays the sameas the amount rises (for example, sales tax, or corporate income tax in somecountries).
A regressive tax is one in which the percent paid as tax falls as the amount
rises (for example, value added tax in some cases).
Thus, a person's applicable tax rate will depend on how much of each type oftax he/she pays as part of his/her total tax burden

Tax policies vary widely from country tocountry, OECD study shows
12/10/2005 - The ways in which governments raise money throughtaxation continue to vary widely across the OECD, (organisation foreconomic co-operation and development) with Denmark collectingalmost 60% of its revenues from personal and corporate taxes andFrance less than 25%, according to data in the latest edition of theOECDs annual Revenue Statistics publication.
In North America, Mexico collects more than half of its tax revenue fromtaxes on the sales of goods and services while the United States raisesless than a fifth of its revenue from this source (see Figure 1 and Table1).
At regional and local level, different patterns are also visible. While mostcountries use a mix of state and local taxes to finance sub-nationalgovernment, Ireland and the United Kingdom rely exclusively on local
property taxes and Sweden exclusively on local income tax 3/22/2012

Market Potential Index (MPI) forEmerging Markets - 2011
Global marketing is becoming more and more important along the years with theincreasing trend in internationalization. Having too many choices, marketers face thechallenge of determining which international markets to enter and the appropriatemarketing strategies for those countries.
The focus of this study is ranking the market potential of countries identified as"Emerging Markets" byThe Economist magazine. These emerging economiescomprise more than half of the world's population, account for a large share of world
output, and have very high growth rates; all indicators of enormous market potential.
This indexing study is conducted byMSU-IBC (Michigan State UniversityInternational Business Centre) to help companies compare the EmergingMarkets with each other on several dimensions. Eight dimensions are chosen torepresent the market potential of a country over a scale of 1 to 100. Eachdimension is measured using various indicators, and are weighted in determiningtheir contribution to the Overall Market Potential Index.
