Abstract
This paper is about the effective average and marginal tax rates in the Philippines and the 9 ASEAN countries plus 3 other countries namely China, India, and Hong Kong. In this paper, the EATR and the EMTR of each country will be calculated using the model developed by Devereux and Griffith, and compared with one another to identify and rank which country is more tax-wise competitive in business and investments (whether domestic or foreign). This paper also includes simulations of different tax policies in the Philippines and a study on which compete with Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Vietnam in investments.
