What does WTDB mean in UNITED NATIONS

The WTD provides comprehensive coverage of both direct and indirect taxes. It contains detailed information on income tax, corporate tax, capital gains tax, value-added tax (VAT), social security taxes, customs duty rates, property taxes and transfer pricing rules.

The WTD is constantly being updated with newly released government publications and other sources of information. Additionally, it is checked monthly for any new regulations or changes that may have taken place in a particular jurisdiction.

No you do not need to be an expert in taxation to use the WTD; however knowledge of tax laws and regulations will enable you to make more informed decisions when using the database.

Yes access to the World Tax Database is free for individuals and small businesses for non-commercial purposes only. For advanced features or commercial use additional fees may apply.

You can search through the database using keywords or by country/region. You can also filter your results by legal area (e.g., income taxes) and date range (e.g., last year). The interface also allows you to save searches and create custom reports which can then be downloaded as PDFs or shared with others via email or social media links.

While the WTD does provide comprehensive coverage of different taxation systems around the world, it does not provide advice on how best to structure an organisation’s tax affairs under those systems as this would constitute legal advice which we cannot provide without prior consultation with a qualified professional adviser.

Yes, all changes made to international laws since 2003 have been tracked within our records meaning that users can see which jurisdictions have been affected by these amendments over time.
