The review focuses on data that allows comparing and ranking different European tax systems, enterprises of different sizes and that engage, or not, in cross-border trade. The objective is to provide sound evidence about the drivers of tax compliance costs, the association with specific taxes, the possible existence of best-practice tax systems to draw inspiration for the design of EU-wide policies. Special attention is devoted to understanding the advantages and limitations of different methodologies and data sources, also in order to suggest avenues for future research on this topic.
