Tax brackets, effective rates, and net income calculations. Data from official government sources.

The taxation framework is a primary draw, scoring 88/100 due to a 0% personal income tax rate across all brackets. There is no tax revenue from individuals as a percentage of GDP, making net income significantly higher for workers. The introduction of a 9% corporate tax and 5% VAT demonstrates a strategic shift towards diversified revenue without burdening individual earners directly.
