Corporate Tax Rate: Where Do Companies Stand Today?
Our latest brief survey shows that while the effective tax rate (ETR) is well-established in many companies, it has so far rarely been used as an active management tool. Our trend report, “Corporate Tax Rate in Practice: Between Transparency and Active Management,” shows how companies use their ETR today and where there is still room for improvement.
Selected findings:
- 73% of companies monitor their ETR regularly or annually—but only 18% use it continuously for management purposes.
- More than half do not have a structured benchmarking process for their own market position.
- Larger companies rely significantly more on ETR-based management and benchmarking.
Download the trend report to find out where your company stands in comparison to the market—and how you can use the ETR more effectively as a management metric.
