947. Eurodad research. See Figure 4 and Table 5. The analysis has been<br />
conducted using a combination of data shared by ActionAid International,<br />
Martin Hearson of the London School of Economics and Political<br />
Science, from the International Bureau of Fiscal Documentation (IBFD)<br />
Tax Research Platform (http://online.ibfd.org/kbase/), and from the<br />
15 European governments’ websites containing their tax treaties<br />
(links to all these websites can be found here: http://ec.europa.eu/<br />
taxation_customs/taxation/individuals/treaties_en.htm). The data only<br />
covers treaties that entered into force in 1970 or later. The data reflects<br />
the information that was available until 20 September 2015. In a few<br />
instances it was not possible to determine the relevant information<br />
regarding the statutory withholding tax rates or the rates contained in<br />
the treaties due to lack of publicly available information or language<br />
barriers. In such cases the treaties were either omitted from the<br />
calculation of the average rate reduction (as was the case with a treaty<br />
between France and Malawi) or additional information was sourced<br />
from the following two websites: http://www.treatypro.com/ and<br />
http://www2.deloitte.com/content/dam/Deloitte/global/Documents/<br />
Tax/dttl-tax-withholding-tax-rates-2015.pdf. The category ‘developing<br />
countries ‘ covers the countries that fall into the World Bank’s categories<br />
of low-income, lower-middle income and upper-middle income<br />
countries (which covers the span of GNI per capita from $0 to $12,735.<br />
