The study is valuable in analyzing trends, and also is helpful in depicting the different types of taxes that multinationals are paying in different regions around the world.  The disparity in countries and regions becomes immediately apparent.  This information also provides context for corporate sustainability reports reflecting global tax transparency for direct and indirect taxes in addition to economic contributions.
