According to a recent survey by KPMG, the average corporate tax rate in the EU has fallen from 38 percent in 1996 to 24 percent in 2007. Data from the European Commission confirm th ing trends in the EU’s 27 member nations. The appetite for lower corporate tax rates has been sated. Further corporate rate cuts are being implemented in Germany, Estonia, Spain, and the United Kingdom, and rate cut ar Republic and France. European nations are not the only ones cutting corporate tax rates.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
