* CNBC data compilation disclosure: "The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) has tracked corporate tax data from its member countries every year since 1981. The tax rates listed here are “combined corporate income tax rates,” a number that includes both national and local levies. It should be noted that the OECD only compiles corporate tax data on its 30 member countries, which do not include the BRIC nations (Brazil, Russia, India, China), as these countries are not currently full members. The lowest OECD Tax rates belong to Ireland (12.5%) and Iceland (15%)."
