328 hours per year — that’s how much time the average Ukrainian entrepreneur spends just on paying taxes.
According to the World Bank’s Doing Business 2020 report, countries with lower income levels tend to have significantly higher tax compliance times. For example, in low-income countries, the average is 275 hours per year, compared to just 149 hours in high-income economies. This indicates that businesses in poorer countries are burdened with more bureaucracy, limiting their growth potential.
🔓 At Free Nation, we advocate for a simpler tax system that reduces the time entrepreneurs spend on compliance — so they can focus on innovation, development, and growth, not paperwork.
Less bureaucracy. More opportunity.
More time for progress means more economic freedom.
