Hungary

Europe

The EU's lowest corporate tax at 9 percent and a 15 percent flat income tax, with a social charge cap that makes high salaries cheaper than they look. The old treaty with the Netherlands counts its 183 days per calendar year, which resets every January, and the flat-rate sole trader regime often beats the company route for real people taking their profits out.
