Reference was made to comparative marginal tax rates between the United States and this country. What are the comparative effective tax rates between both countries? Am I correct in saying the Netherlands receives the greatest level of FDI as per the report? It has one of the highest marginal tax rates in the world. I wish to get a better understanding of the issue. We are having an important debate coming up to the budget. We hear it said that if we touch the marginal tax rate in this country we will affect the level of investment and jobs created. It is important for us to be able to provide an evidence base for our policy. Is there research of the job versus the marginal tax ratio internationally?
