    What the headline misses.

    Regional and local taxes, social security, treaty relief and each country's residency test decide what you actually pay. The headline rate is where the comparison starts, not where it ends.

    What people ask.

    Straight answers, from the figures above.

    On the headline rate, Dubai (9%) is lower than Monaco (25%). Exemptions, small-profit rates and where the company is managed from change the real figure.
