Explanation of Solution

Income tax is the amount paid as a tax to the federal government or state government levied every year.

The income taxes can be compared across the nations based on the most important aspect that is the high-income nation or low-income nation. This is so because the taxes should be compared at equal levels to get the appropriate results.

For example, Country U’s corporate income tax can be compared with high-income nations as it follows progressive tax system rather than the low-income nations.
