Project description

This research proposal tries to assess the role of the introduction of the notional interest deduction on the capital structure of the Belgian companies. Firstly, simulations will be made to capture the effect of the notional interest deduction on the effective marginal tax rate. Secondly, these simulations will be used to explain changes in the capital structure.
