Score-Paying taxes (DB17-20 methodology) measures the gap between an economy's performance and the regulatory best practice on the Paying Taxes indicator components. It is calculated as the simple average of the scores for Payments (number per year), Time (hours), Total Tax and Contribution Rate (% of profits), and Postfiling index (0-100) (DB17-20 methodology). The score ranges from 0 to 100, where 0 represents the worst regulatory performance and 100 the best regulatory performance.
