Where only one level of sub-central taxation applies (e.g. state level) in a given country, Minimum (Maximum) refers to the lowest (highest) rate across states.
Where two levels of sub-central taxation apply (e.g. state + municipal), Minimum (Maximum) refers to the lowest (highest) combined (top marginal) sub-central rate.
For the purpose of this comparison, the lowest (highest) state rate is first identified (using the approach followed where only state level taxation applies). Then the lowest (highest) combined rate is determined among the municipalities in that state (using top marginal rates where progressive rate structures apply).
