Staff evaluation of economic development opportunities in North Rhine-Westphalia

Article Abstract:

The North Rhine-Westphalia industrial center in Germany offers attractive business opportunities due to its political stability and favorable economic laws. Foreign investors and local companies are treated equally. Although Germany has been known for high taxes, the 36% corporate tax on distributed profits is lower than Japan, Denmark and other industrialized countries. German tax policy also provides for substantial depreciation allowances, hidden reserves and nontaxable accruals which may be used to decrease taxable profit. Aside from generous infrastructure allocations, Germany also has the lowest rate of inflation among EC countries.
