Taxes: Indirect tax rates

Indirect taxes place a broad drag on country economies and, in some locations can have a meaningful impact on the cost effectiveness of IT or business process outsourcing operations.

Indirect taxes vary significantly across major outsourcing locations. Canada and the United States have the best rates in the mid single digits. India and the Philippines are in the lower half at about 12%. China is on the higher end at 17% and several of the Eastern European nations top the list with indirect tax rates above 20%.

Corporate tax rates are primarily sources from the annual KPMG Corporate and Indirect Tax Rate Survey.
