Article Abstract:
Understanding the different tax regimes operating throughout the cities of Europe goes a long way to helping investors in foreign real estate appreciate and succeed in often risky yet financially rewarding markets. Research into the different tax laws shows investors in the UK markets are the most warmly welcomed, with domestic investors in Germany and the Netherlands also being treated well. Foreign investors are treated fairly well in Germany, Spain and France.

CCT is a procurement process but Best Value will incorporate wider managerial processes and will consider outcomes. It calls on councils to decide on corporate goals and targets will have to be published.
