An evidence-first index comparing tax authorities’ enforcement powers, tax burdens, and use of technologies such as AI scoring and platform-data reporting across 217 jurisdictions.

It turns an intimidating global subject—from social-media monitoring to citizenship-based taxation—into a navigable country-by-country index.
